If you are really limited to a text display, then
something providing simple but useful information
would be a better idea to spend some time on, e.g.
a text output mode for jkmeter or ebumeter (both
would be fairly easy).
Jkmeter looks interesting. I rooted around in the source some, but I
have not yet found where the interface hooks are. It looks like it could
be a fun project.

This sounds interesting to me too, but I also have trouble understanding
the code. It's clean (no comments whatsoever) C++ code it seems (I
had assumed C for some reason). I've no
experience with C++ at all, so this might be part of the problem. There
seems to be some sort of event system which might drive the different
parts, but I really don't know. Guess it would take me quite some time
to understand what's there and probably also some time to grasp ncurses
or whatever else necessary for a CLI display. But it would be
interesting.
I'm facing more or less the same problems: little C++ experience,
bewildered by the absence of comments. The X interface also seems to be
pretty much integrated in the way the programme operates. Maybe it would
be easier to just keep the DSP and JACK parts and reintegrate them in
new code? Remember, this is coming from someone who is definitely no
coding genius. :)
