i've once hacked somme code to "sequence" jack-transport.

@Joern: is there a deadline you need to meet (get sth quick with
mplayer) or is there time for proper open-source devel? video-jack might
be worth waiting for!
maybe the ardour punch-in/out and location marker concept can be
extended in a suitable way.. - depending on the level of interaction
during the show one might want to use pure-data.
How do you prepare the show? do you edit audio/video or only arrange the
live performance automation?
I guess you want to have a simple video-player or -timeline to preview
and define sync points in the video source first. Then assign those
clips to different triggers, events or sequence some of them.
A theater installation might need more than one audio-transport!
eg. some audio keeps running continuously, some audio is sync to video,
some extra sound-effects,. I not sure if ardour is suited for that.
To complicate it even more there's qlc.sf.net (the QT light controller -
i've never used it)- it can be controlled by Midi ! dunno about OSC or
jack-transport. sure sth that will come in handy for live theater! but
that would place an ardour-midi-light-automations-track on the feature
request list :-) seriously, let's postpone that!

As of right now there is no good prebuilt
software for audio in theater
on linux. I am slowly working my way through APIs to start working on
one, but have been for some time so don't hold your breath;) I don't
plan on doing anything for video though, sorry.
Can't you extend an existing app rather than starting a new project?
I know that Ardour has been used for sound installations, how are the
requirements of a theater different?
