You might consider using ~/.aeolus/rc or something of the sort
for the writing of user configuration instead of AEOLUS_DIR.
You also might consider not relying only upon the envvar, but
building in some system-wide paths (at configure/build time) to
search for stops if AEOLUS_DIR is not specified.
Both of these things could help long-term usability, IMO.
Also, what are your thoughts about disk caching the generated waveforms
that is done at startup? These could be written into the ~/.aeolus/
dir based on whatever settings (samplerate, etc) and loaded instead
of always re-generating them. I haven't looked at the internals,
so if there is some fundamental thing preventing that, ok. I
just want to instantly *play* it, you know? :)
