It isn't something I'm thinking about. Various people ask from time to time
about a non-GUI version of Ardour, so I took some work Carl Hetherington
had done, cleaned it up just a little bit, and put it into the repository
as a build target. MIDI (Mackie Control, probably) and OSC are the obvious
choices, but in an ideal world there are better protocols like Euphonix
stuff that one could consider.

I guess so, but I have way too much else on my plate to be thinking about
this.
