Ok First of all, I'm NOT planning on making tX an "Ableton Live on Linux". I actually want to keep the basic workflow of tX and take care of some shortcomings:
- optional Per turntable stereo-jack outputs (got that working, with my own mixer design)
- LV2 support
- OSC support
- Rubberband support (working in parts, length of slave turntables get adjusted to master turntable)
- Automatic detection of Beatpattern (don't know yet which lib to take)
- Take out the sequencing stuff (better done by some external app e.g seq24, Ardour3 via osc/midi )
- Eventual change to Qt for the Gui (as a programmer, i love Qt), but that for the far Future
So actually It should rather go along the lines of Traktor DJ (from NI) (with more than 2 turntables), than Live. I'd also like to incorporate NI idea of using a physical turntable to control tX (scratching etc.)

Not at all!  I am genuinely concerned about the possibility of offending 
the fervant believers in the righteous power of the App that shall 
remain nameless and the sanctity of that hallowed institution leading 
the way for us mere mortals in the eternal quest for realtime 
performance and enlightenment of the dance massive.

It is clear that discussion of the Taboo could lead to a fatal turn of 
events that might leave us completely at the mercy of Government 
corruption and ineptitude while we endeavour to shield ourselves from 
the ensuing radioactive fallout of a massive nuclear event caused by the 
shifting techtonic plates due to the impact of global warming from the 
excessive consumption of fossil fuels brought about by the need to 
provide a rock solid environment for Audio posers and Professionals 
alike to achieve their goals of world domination while at the same time 
enjoying all the benefits of a successful career in the music industry 
and the wealth, status and success that goes with selling out to the 
highest bidder to provide corporate sponsored entertainment of the mass 
market driving the entertainment market into fits of passion at the mere 
sound of the latest autotuned sample while overlayed with the darkest 
philosophical perspective due to the Mass Media Industrial Military 
complexes desire to manipulate our thoughts with their pervasive agenda 
of death and destruction on a global scale in order to confuse into 
ignoring the depth of corruption and negligence inherent to the self 
fulfilling system of Political and Corporate greed enhanced by the 
merger of the fiat currency system with multimedia devices running 
competing mobile operating systems to ensure vendor lock in while we 
give away our rights in order to make sure we can enhance the facial 
recognition technology of the Elite Societies that require total 
dominance of the international global market for divine intervention in 
the nationalised institutions that combine technologies to create a 
broad based award winning platform for teleportation of our quantum 
entangled states while we injest our daily dose of vitamins to counter 
the effects of long term exposure to radionuclides emitted into our 
environment for with a full lifetime of hundreds of thousands of years.
