If you look in the mixer strip in the mockup, the plugins windows
(both pre and post) were changed to buttons. They are quite huge, so
theoretically I guess you could make them smaller and stick in a UI of
some sort to restore the cut and paste functionality.

BTW this was just an image. I didn't actually hack the code to do this
into the UI. :) But I'm sure that with a little borrowed code from the
UI from Om, it wouldn't be hard to do.
