Oh, to bad it crashes on you. What version of QT are you using ?

Anyway, both these are taken from the world of hardware mixers.

A group strip, often refered to as sub-group is a where you would mix together 
a number of tracks to treat them as one. Imagine for instance that you have 
recorded five tracks of backing vocals. Since they probably should share the 
same settings they are directed to a group track and after that handled as 
_one_.

The aux is similar but does normally not have a fader on the mixer (not on 
smaller mixers anyway). When you add an aux all tracks, inputs and groups 
will have a small knob added which allows for sending parts of it's signal to 
the aux track.
This is for instance useful if you want to apply different amounts of the same 
effect to a number of tracks.
If we take the backing vocal example. You probably have a lead singer track 
also. Possibly you want to apply the same reverb to all these but the backing 
vocals should have much more reverb. Now, if there wasn't an aux we would 
have to instantiate serveral reverbs. More cpu, more controls to keep track 
of.

I think you have very nice and fresh ideas, I'm leaving it to you ;)

Some of menu items are hard/impossible to make a good icon for... we can 
scrutinize them later and see of any of them should be removed...

I actually noted that it was very 'spot on'. Very good idea. I doubt though 
that gimp owns the design. Can't hurt to ask though :)
