:This is exactly the problem I have. Let's write one (I'm only half
:joking).

Half joking or not, if you have ideas, share em.  But there's a ton of
code out there already.  Join a project rather than start another one
(unless, of course, you have something original).  Half of the problem
is that if everyone writes a half-assed sample editor, then we've got
hundreds of half-assed editors.  Focused contributions help out a lot

:I can demo artscontrol, Brahams and a USB MIDI interface all working (on
:my laptop).  Unfortunatly Debian unstable is being particulary unstable
:today, and I can't download rosegarden 4 (or, in fact, use KDE at all).

I'm getting ever closer to having a working laptop again, at which point
I can put together a bit of a demo with a couple tools.  I got quite
familiar with a bunch of editing and signal processing tools when I was
working with a theatre group back in Canada.
