Slightly OT, but I'm happy to see that so many of the projects use Qt. I wonder if there's any particular reason why Qt seems particularly strongly represented in audio software.

(The reason it makes me happy is that I find Qt to be of very high quality, both API and documentation-wise, and it deserves to be more widely used than it is).

Then you'll also be pleased to learn that the SuperCollider3 project has switched to Qt for its cross-platform GUI. SC3's other GUI possibilities remain - Cocoa on the Mac, SwingOSC for cross-platform - but the developers have made the change. Incidentally, SC3 began as a decidedly Mac-centric application but I think all its primary developers are Linux-based now.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SuperCollider for more information about SC3.

Best,
