Yeah, i probably still object to it's presence. What is the point of a
standalone version? What is wrong with just using jack-dssi-host? If
you want a standalone version, you can just have a script,
jack-dssi-host myplugin called myplugin for people to run. Though the
other idea sounds nice. Easy to skin widgets with lots of
functionality are great. Maybe you can merge them into libphat? It's
specifically for that purpose, though i don't know Pete's plans for
it.
