I think this is a great idea, a sort of music app toolkit. A few others
I've been thinking about:

- Dial widget: With some nice bitmaps of real knobs.
- Transient generator editor widget (variant of the gtk curve widget): Allows
one to draw a curve repesenting things like attack, decay, release, etc.
- Abstract connection widget: Some abstraction of the canvas widget that
 would allow programmers to describe inputs and outputs of modules and
allow the user to make connections between them.

Of course, it might be worthwile to go beyond just gui elements. I've
been toying with a System Exclusive Editor/Librarian toolkit. The other
idea I have is something similar to OMS, that would discover (allow a
user to describe) a midi setup, so that midi apps could specify connections
to real midi (or software) devices rather than "/dev/midi0."

"Connect keyboard to midi-in of sequencer"
"Connect output of sequencer to input of Midi Echo program"
"Connect output of Midi Echo program to Expensive External Synth"
