Very good.

Phonon will rock.
And KDE 4 with it.
And then the KDE 4 applications too :-)

No need for a multitrack recording tool.
At least for me.
I, as the developer of BasKet Note Pads, only need a way to record audio 
notes, append audio after another track, and that's all.

Ah, I haven't thinked to the solution of playing the song and recording it!
That should do the trick.

Unless someone is recording a whole 1 hour meeting!
Hum... Someone WILL do that.
So I will cut audio notes with another library.
That would be better :-)
