Slightly sideways - I've been enjoying some of the visualisation apps like synaesthesia I wonder whether any of these could be more use than just eye-candy (good eye candy tho'). There is a Gnome vu meter. Most of the others I know about are XMMS plugins. A free standing or JACKable scope would be useful - I find this sort of thing most useful with modular synths like spiral synth modular. It's good to be able to see as well as hear. cheers tim hall
