This is my dream born of ignorance...

Take a multitrack recording in something like ardour.
NAME each track.
Feed all tracks to a plugin that has a graphical representation of a sound 
stage.
The NAMES (with icons) from the adrour tracks show up from left to right on 
the stage.
You can grab the icons and drag them about the stage in realtime and hear the 
changes in the output of the plugin.

Thoughts?
