Everything seems like an okay idea to me except the mixer and "LADSPA
presets manager".
Integrating a mixer into a qjackctl-like program just doesn't make any
sense, and I don't know what a LADSPA presets manager would do in this
context.. manage presets for which app?
Anyway, the whole point of LASH is we don't need to smash apps together
in nasty ways like this. Ubiquitous LASH support is what 'we' really
need, IMHO.
