I meant the generic idea of trucking stuff via messages for
visualizations, not so much this specific implementation.  For the
purpose of an LV2 example, though, many of these aren't so important.
It's more about showing the structure than an actually decent scope.

Maybe a really simple meter would be a better one though.

Anyway, no rush with me these days, as usual :)
