I think it's the right approach and will save some hassles down the line 
as well as give people something to aim for.

 From my perspective I see the sampler interface requiring the following 
core features:

- Multiple song playback at one time - has anyone tried this yet with 
the playlist code?
- Instant song loading (internal)
- Midi bindings for the sample buttons (for controlling internal playback)
- Per song volume control


I see these as nice to have but not essential for immediate dev targets.

- multiple bpm counters/per song bpm
- midi control for external apps
- instant multitrack record via jack/ardour/renoise etc...
- Save session state with lash
- load/bind to external apps/sessions and trigger playback per sample button



Cheers.
