actually, yes i think we do. either that or we have to devise some
protocol so that we can do things like "cut all tracks between time X
and Y", and have this propagated to various kinds of editors operating
on audio/MIDI/video data. personally, i'd rather do it all in one,
because it will be a shorter time till things work that way. there are
many examples of operations performed in one "realm" that would need
to be propagated to "parallel realms". it would be quite ugly, i think.
