It'd certianly be a very good start to get the feed set up without being
100%, then add more information to the existing API. That is, times when
the input isn't from a track on the computer, just show "CD Player 1",
"Vinyl 1", "Mic 1", etc, with an attribute that it's not a real track.
Don't forget to inclue the possibilty of multiple sources being live at
once. Warn your users that new tags and attributes may show up later, and
to expect multi-namespacing.
Release early, release often.
