If you can be patient, this will fit in beautifully with our plans
to refactor some major portions of the code immediately after the
1.2.0 release and branch.

The plan is to create a new class hierarchy for all of the different
GUI tracks, including a separate class for a StereoTrack and maybe
even a more generic TrackGroup.  Its Paint method could do anything,
including display both waveforms separately, overlay them, or merge
them.

The change shouldn't be too hard, but we want to get 1.2.0 out first
before we start introducing bugs.

Cool!  Stay in touch.
