Absolutely :)

Apart from JACK support, which is the biggest showstopper now, there
should be a bug related to "curved gain" if I recall correctly, which
is BTW a cool feature.

For the rest it's pretty there, I think. It would be very good a
preview for LADSPA effects.

There is another cool feature no other editor I know has, which is
"play looped but skip most of the middle".

I would like to help, but unfortunately my coding skills are very
primitive, I know some bash and not much more...

Some years ago I recall that digging in the mailing lists I read that
the developer was porting rezound to another graphical toolkit so
maybe is better to contact him before the adoption call :)
