It would be quite useful, though, and possibly not only for me. That
knowledge should be able to be extracted from the Ardour source and
adapt it for use outside of it. If it's mainly (only ?) knowledge, eg.
that no methods other than for static information access are used.
Hmmm.. maybe a yet unsaved session is asked about what tracks being in
use or not ? But then, maybe an automatic save is made before calling
the Session > Cleanup method.
Perl would be good for that, with XML parsing capabilties 'built-in' so
to speak. Unfortunately I'm too busy now to start such a project,
although it's interesting.
