Hey All,

Mini Announce:  PreHear - A tiny sample audition program, based on GTK+, written in Vala.

It has the features that Drew suggested, (play entire sample, play starting at X seconds, and play from X secs to Y secs).
JACK connectivity, and the file browser filters on wav, au and aiff.

The widgets will be drawn in you own GTK theme, so the program may look different to the attached screenshot.

Get it:  git clone git://github.com/harryhaaren/PreHear.git    // 2 branches: Master = source code
Tarball: http://sites.google.com/site/harryhaaren/Home/PreHear.tar.gz?attredirects=0&d=1     // i686 with ui.glade file.

Feature request/commentary/etc welcome,
Cheers, -Harry
