Ahh, yes time, but also working out a UI for it. Its kinda optional, so I
doubt it will make 0.1.

Well, theres almost nothing to SDL (well the parts I used anyway), I just
dont think its appropriate, I ended up writing widget code for the sliders
and stuff, which is why they suck so much. In retrosect just using GTK
would have been easier.

The intention wasn't that it be especially private, I just didn't think
anyone else would want to work on it. I originally wanted to get beta bug
reports from a small number of people so I could handle the feedback, but
I dont think that will be a problem now.

Thats a good point. The current state is that I'm halfway through
refactoring the UI code to make some of the compressor controls rotary, so
its impossible to tell what its doing at the moment. The question is
wether its quicker to rescue the SDL code or replace it with GTK code or
similar.
Is there anyone else who wants to work on this? If not I'l just leave the
code where it is for now and give Patrick a login on the machine. If there
are a few people I'l have to move it to sourceforge or something, but I
dont really want to do that cos I think theres going to be some major
structural work needs doing.
