I agree, the improved sound output will be tricky to have it at 
production-ready status, given the date of the release. Let's not rule 
it out yet: it mainly needs speed optimizations (fixed point 
implementation) and testing of course. We'll see how Timothy fares with it.

The tools gui will definitely be a valued addition. I have asked Sean to 
update the branch so that it can be merged and he promised to do it. 
I'll ping him again and check on the status.
