I will just add some clarification about how I think some of those
tasks are related.

The "Jack-Transport Problem" and the "Jog-Dial Scrubbing Problem" are
probably only related from a User-Interface Point of view, rather than
from a technical/implementation POV. I think that those tasks can be
tackled independently, and any solution is likely very valuable on its
own. :-)

Just for those that are not up to date what "Jack-Transport" is. It is
an API that is designed to Syncronize Timeline or Time based
applications to a "common clock". Example: if I seek in the Video
Editor to timestamp 00:10:00, then the Audio Editor will automagically
seek to that point to.

And since a "Scrub-Wheel" controls the "Seek-Point" too, this is
somehow related. But again, it can be implemented independently and
seperately.

And of course there are a lot of things that can be controlled from
hardware boxes, that or not much releated to "Scrubbing". Just think
about matching hardware-knobs to plugin parameters, for easier
manipulation. Again, this Problem, while related can be tackled
independently and individually, it is useful on its own, it doesn't
require to much communication overhead and coordination issues with
potential team-members, which is good, because not everyone works at
the same pace, and by being able to work indpendently, those who are
slower are not holding those that work more rapid back. So everyone
will be happy. :-) Ideally. ;-)

Cheers, and have fun
-Richard
