Hi Hanno, I'm not really involved in this project, so take my comments with a grain of salt.
after watching your huge batch of mails in the past weeks, full of new suggestions, I wonder if your invitation to feature creep is really the way to go. The problem is not really BEASTS lack in features. The last time I tried BEAST, it managed to crash itself in about under 3 minutes. The project structure was archaic. There was lack of support for better audio backends. So I suppose what would really help development would be tracking down the benevolent dictator in this project and bugging him about the bugs - thus, doing some serious QA. On development side, an upgrade of the project structure is required, adding a proper lightweight build system (scons), support for either rtaudio or portaudio v19 as an audio backend, and some serious refactoring, which involves mainly: removing all the IDL crap, thinning the code, and porting of the frontend to a scripting language such as python, so new feature additions and bugfixes become easy, and people stop worrying about e.g. 3 different types of complex types in the code ;) I would do this myself, but instead I decided to start my own tracker project, and we're progressing fast.
