I think a conceptual analyses is also needed on forehand, without the SM
being complete. You could think of questions like:
* is it (in theory) possible to use it crossplatform,
* is it (in theory) possible to use it without X,
* is it (in theory) possible to use it via the network
* etc

You don't want to support an API which can't run (in theory)
crossplatform. You have some standards a SM should be able to do, like
there is for JACK and all other kinds of stuff.

But I agree, user experience is important too. So Thijs, Louigi, ... ,
did you try it already? What are your experiences?
