+1. Seq24 is a legend. I fondly remember a session with friends years 
ago, it was magical, we rocked the party with AMS patching on-the-fly 
and a telecaster in a sony HiFi amp, and aftewards all attempts to make 
it work failed badly. Let's make it real.

Seq24 does not indentify itself very well when when trying to route inputs and outputs via Patchage or other similar GUIs like Catia. I know it can be done because other programs like Ardour get it right. Everytime I use Seq24 I have tobplay around for a while guessing how to connect plugins etc..

However, the name "Seq24" is nowhere to be found. I think it says "throughput-0" or something not obvious or intuitive.
