So here it goes: Ardour is a full fledged, pro-level DAW and, for crying out loud on its own, the flagship of the free/open-source pro-audio fleet and movement, not only Linux anymore nowadays.
It goes without saying that Ardour offers an abundance of features, but Qtractor's MIDI support is very good, its audio support is more than just adequate, and its big plus is that it's so easy to learn and use. Also, despite the "alpha" sticker that you keep putting on it, it's been working very well for me. In any case, we can be happy that we have both. :)
Now what's still needed is full-fledged OSC support. I mean not just automation, but real OSC tracks with full recording, playback and editing capabilities a la MIDI. We've briefly discussed this on the Qtractor mailing list, and I think that I've read somewhere that Ardour3 has been designed with that in mind as well. But are there any concrete plans to add an OSC track type to Ardour? That would be a killer feature, at least for me.

Can you read my mind? :) I was about to ask for this, and now you've already implemented it! Nice.
One thing I've been wondering about... Could you please elaborate on what exactly the --enable-lv2-state-files configure option is for? That was marked as experimental in previous svn revisions, and is one of the very few options which are disabled by default.
Rui, thanks for all your hard work, and see you @ CCRMA!
