Maybe a widget not included on the container layout but with sizes and 
position depending on the slider's ones.

Some of this is what we have started on the CLAM project. We are gathering 
some of the best GPL Qt audio related widgets around [1] into a Qt designer 
plugin so you can use all of them on CLAM prototypes, but also we would be 
delighted if that becomes a comunity effort not bound to CLAM. If fact, most 
of the widgets have no real dependencies on CLAM.

The plugin currently includes:
- CLAM realtime data visualization widgets (oscilloscope, bargraph, vumeter, 
keyspace, tonnetz...), and a ControlSurface widget (controls/visualizes a 
pair of parameters to explore by moving a point in a surface).
- Pksampler povray based widgets but ported to C++ and with properties to 
configure the pixmap collection [2]
- Rosegarden/QSynth knobs but with QGradient based drawing. Also with 
properties to configure the color and mouse interaction (linear vs radial)
