Your best bet is to talk someone into writing a 4-in 2-out ladspa plugin
that will do the crossfade. Then you can just use the plugin's
parameter for control or automation. You would insert it into
a 4-input, 2-output bus, which you would connect as above.
It would be a very easy plugin to write, steve harris could crank it out in a
matter of minutes.... it might take me a few more.
