I don't want to disappoint you but 0.3.x branch isn't really maintained 
anymore and we're currently focussing at 0.4.x which has a rewritten core, 
better plugin-infrastructure, is Qt4-based and has a lot of other 
improvements. Therefore you shouldn't spend any time on writing a plugin for 
0.3.x. Instead you should port it to 0.4.0-svn so it's also usable in the 
future. If you need help, mail again.

You should also note, that 0.4.0 has controllers, e.g. MIDI-controllers - 
dunno whether they already do what you want to achieve with your plugin.
