[<rad...@ko...>]

I have written New Features / TODO list based on my and Sweep =20
community experience.
(sourceforge.net feat req. or bugid in brackets)

GUI/User experience:
- customized wave colors (ID:1424792)
- play sound only when scrubbing not selecting (ID:1424790)
- realtime sample plugin/effects support (ID:757759)
- preview sample plugin/effects in plugin parameter window (ID:737948)
- waveform scrolling when playing (now its jump page by page) (ID:=20
712020)
- sample plugin/effects chain (+realtime support) (ID:674662)
- File->Save selection (ID:667106)
- measure sound in samples (frames) and seconds (ID:712017)
- loop points/ sample markers (me: useful for selections or envelope =20
editing) (ID:661994)
- batch (macro?) processing of sound data (ID:654580)
- audio preview while browsing audio files (ID:637291)
- write Documentation (ID:629614)
- extend conversion function: mono to stereo and stereo to mono (ID:=20
622600)
- support for external app (ID:622599)
- paste as new should clone original sound parameters (BUGID:1429170)

- sound level meter (when playing and/or recording)
- spectrum (FFT) - using libfftw3
- import sound tracks directly from CD - using libcdparanoia
- when quit ask for save modified sound track (now sweep has problem =20
with it)
- select individual channel and mix channel selections
- named regions/selections/tracks/etc.
- Drag&Drop of selected sound data
- let set memory consumption limit for undo data (or limit undo steps)
- let tune selections/other in properties window
- TAG editor + save tag data in audio formats which support it (OGG, =20
MP3)
- sinc/linear interpolation when draw individual samples

New Features:
- noise removal tool (maybe with selecting noise profile) (ID:1275368)
- click & pop elimination (for cleaning up for e.g. vinyl records)
- envelope feature and envelope editor
- multitrack recording (ID:605449)
- sample bank management
- global mixer panel in separate window
- support for Sweep Projects:
	- set of samples
	- set of selections
	- envelope data
	- loop markers
	- edit history (with undo data)
	- some (all?) program preferences (like view schema, list of =20
windows ...)

Low-level stuff:
- modular sound drivers (loadable at runtime)
	- OSS driver
	- ALSA driver
	- CoreAudio driver (Mac OS X)
	- Solaris Audio driver
	- JACK driver
	- Disk writer driver (output only)
- modular file drivers (loadable at runtime)
	- OGG/Vorbis
	- MP3 (write support by external library)
	- other from libsndfile
- sound drivers should be able to use callback API
- possibility to enable more than one sound output driver at one time
- Cairo Graphics library for drawing
- display-cache for speeding-up drawing
- off-load unused undo buffers from memory
- Windows port (i am kidding, sorry :)

and a lot of other useful stuff ...

So, let the discussion begin.
