Hey, cool stuff! I've been thinking about doing something like that all the 
time. Three weeks ago I finally started something (together with two friends 
of mine) and we began playing around with a lot of ideas.

Our ideas so far:
- create a program that can be extended to do anything concerning Multimedia 
(Midi, Wave, Video, Scoreprinting, and whatever else comes to mind)
- if possible, use aRts to have access to all the different media types
- put all the different media tracks together to create one big project 
(biggest problem: sync - especially if you use aRts)

Our works (not much):
- an idea for a simple framework (subject for discussion)
- a waveview widget (just beginning)
- a zoomscrollbar widget (I saw one like it in a windoze video program)

The whole thing has a CVS repository and mailinglists on my server. Take a 
look at http://kms.Kretz.dyndns.org/

I'd really like for it to become something usefull, or even better ;-) and it 
would be great to have as many people interested in it as possible to help 
bringing it to life.

sounds cool

We're still in planning stage. It would be cool to have more input from 
people who know what's going on.
