here's my attempt - 99.8% is due to thorwil, but i hopefully made it
work in outline (that's the main idea).

shamelessly borrowed from the well-known cd digital audio logo
http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Datei:CompactDiscDigitalAudio-Logo.svg&filetimestamp=20061229140248
because it helps with b), c) and d).

the phrasing may sound a bit odd (why not "free audio software"?) but i
wanted to emphasize that first of all it's about professional audio. and
i wanted to keep "free software" in there so it's recognized as a kind
of brand thing...

the other colored samples are just to show that in theory you could make
it work in any color context as dictated by the sleeve design.

your comments are welcome. still working on world peace and coffee.
