I think a conceptual analyses is also needed on forehand, without the SM

being complete. You could think of questions like:

* is it (in theory) possible to use it crossplatform,

* is it (in theory) possible to use it without X,

* is it (in theory) possible to use it via the network

* etc
You don't want to support an API which can't run (in theory)

crossplatform. You have some standards a SM should be able to do, like

there is for JACK and all other kinds of stuff.
But I agree, user experience is important too. So Thijs, Louigi, ... ,

did you try it already? What are your experiences?
