I haven't seen buzz running, I've been checking it out on the web though..

With many plugins it would be trivially do-able, _depending_ on how the various plugins are connected.

Personally, I want a decent plugin API so I can write my softsynths :) And a step sequencer which will integrate well so I can compose at last. If i could do that with a voltage API at least, i'd be a very happy man. If you want to get that interface working first, (ie soonish) it'd save me a whole lotta hassle coming up with my own.
