precisely. the semantics are completely undefined. "clips" (or
"regions" or "events") do not correspond 1:1 with audio files. for a
standalone editor to work with them they would need to be written to
such a file first. the whole idea is a complete mess, which is why i
didn't go ahead and add it to ardour.

but whats the starting point for the edit?

i think its called a file :)
seriously, i don't think you can do this. editors that don't know
about playlists (as all *wave* editors do not) can't interact with
editors that do without first rendering part of a playlist to disk.
or so it seems to me.
