Well, yes and no.  :-)  Tritium is very modular (and 
becoming more so).

For example, the Tritium::MixerImpl class we talked about -- 
it just manages and mixes buffers.  It doesn't directly 
interface to any audio API's.  The audio API's are pretty 
modular, but not quite ready for "general purpose" use.

Meanwhile Tritium::Engine sets up the whole sequencer engine 
and takes care of JACK for you... but that's not what you 
want.

At the moment it's handled like an old mixer board where you 
have 4 send/returns and you mix in each channel to go to it.  
This is inherited from Hydrogen, and I haven't decided if I 
want to do per-channel pre/post insers.

Too big?  I disagree.
Too immature?  Yes, indeed!  :-)

It only depends on QtCore and QtXml... which isn't /that/ 
bad.  :-)

...which can be omitted if you application doesn't use it.
