Nice video! I've clearly not been paying any attention, I didn't realise
that any of this was currently more than a neat idea. :)

I think rather than trying to manage two windows it would be nicer to run
xwax headlessly and have it pass some data (metadata, pitch, position,
overview waveform, etc) to the front end library application for it to
display in whatever fashion it desires.
