Very cool, works great for me!

What we need now is a message to be sent to kdenlive to alert it to the 
rendering progress.

I haven't checked to see what piave does if the timeline is modified whilst a 
render is in progress (i.e. a setSceneList command, but I suggest that it 
should return an error status of some description.

Great.

Ok, In response, kdenlive now tracks the play position (i.e. the marker 
follows playing).

If I have coded it correctly, Piave should _not_ be recieiving any seek 
commands from kdenlive during playing, unless you manually move the slider 
(i.e. click and drag it). Please let me know if this is not the case, as it 
will probably cause nasty stuttering.

We should at some point discuss how this will all work. In particular, I think 
it would be better if piave chose it's mode based upon a VEML "Quality" 
option and the current window size, rather than having a specific setting for 
"use fuill or half size".

Piave still appears to crash if /dev/dsp is inaccessible (as it is quite often 
on my computer).

Fixed.

Fixed

This is a bit tricky to fix at the moment, I need to have a good look at the 
architecture of the ruler and tweak it so that it can do everything we are 
going to want it to be able to do.

I have an idea of how to fix this for good, but I have not yet implemented it.

Hmm, I was thinking of using the mouse wheel to zoom in and out. Perhaps this 
needs to be configurable?

Yes, the code for whether the project is modifed or not is somewhat screwed up 
at the moment, I need to look into it.

Cheers,
