I think another great application for such a thing would be a JACK patch bay. It would be so much easier to use something like this to connect apps (and internal ardour connections) than it is at the moment. I always wanted to write such a thing myself but never really had the time. In many ways a JACK patch bay would be one of the most demanding applications for this because it has to handle both many-to-one and one-to-many connections and JACK graphs can be very complicated, so I would suggest bearing it in mind while designing it, on the grounds that if it can handle that it will be able to handle many other things as well. I also think that having the option of embedding synth GUIs into the graph is very important.
There already is. Check out http://qjackctl.sourceforge.net.
