speaking from qtractor pov.:

- level 0: minimal effort as it would be a probable and simple 
rephrasing and/or adaptation of the code already in place for 
jack-session; also, there's this osc branch somewhat lurking in svn to 
get readily merged and apply for the NSM/OSC interface.

- level 1+: pervasive change and effort; almost brand new application 
overhaul (iow. won't happen any time soon:) sorry.
