Well, that's our intent in CLAM[1]. The goal is that CLAM should be able to 
run a given processing algorithm transparently under several backends. 
Currently we support, to some extend, PortAudio, Jack, Alsa, and VST. The 
first three backends can be used with a Qt Designer interface. We still have 
to face several fronts: Unifying the interface to fit all the backends, 
incorporating more backends (some work on Ladspa has been done), and enabling 
Qt GUI's to more backends (notably VST).

This work in progress should be due for the next months, so any requirements 
or feedback is very wellcome.

David.
