Ok it could be true, forget about flashy GUIs, for a moment.

I feel the absence of a solid Audio Widget Library, it doesn't mind if
it's in Gtk, Qt, EFL, skinable, fancy etc...
A library that provides 4 or 5 controls but solid like a rock and of
course accessible.
A knob, a slider, a vumeter, a toggle button. All packaged in a
library, to be a point to start for junior devs like me.
Not a library for a specific application, a general library to
provides that simple controls.

I know that libphat exists, but i've found it weird, i'm sorry.
If someone knows some library or want to write a new one is welcome, i
will help as much as possible.

Cheers
