Text-based UIs are possible for DSSI plugins, but nobody had every
written
one (as far as I know). So your request motivated me to actually
attempt one.
I've got a _very_ rough and minimal start to a readline/ncurses based
UI for
hexter. You can try it out at:
http://home.jps.net/~musound/hexter-0.5.7-julien.tar.gz
Start it up with jack-dssi-host (as is suggested in the README), and
type
'help' at the prompt for options. Control-T functions as the 'Play
Test Note'
button.

Part of the reason (aside from lack of time) I didn't implement more in
the
text UI, is I'm hoping it might provide a good jumping-off point for
your
programming efforts! The structure of the GTK+ and text UIs is
parallel,
so you'll have the GTK+ code to guide you.
Let me know (off-list) if you have trouble getting this working.
