Here are the bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/1407394
https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/1281654

Uwe and I made significant progress with this beast:
https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/pull/411
It was continuously improved and testes since 30 Nov 2014
Some important QM tasks are already finished:
* It is reviewed by a second pair of eyes.
* It has Unit-tests for the most difficult parts

What is missing:
a) Fire ugly files against it
b) test in the wild bay a broad amount of users 

a) can't take long and b) is ideal done in a beat phase, we will never
have such an attention for the next two years.

For me this advantages have an higher value than a diffuse change of
introducing new bugs.
And yes new code introduces always new bugs (not a big problem in a
beta)
