Wow, realtime wiring! it is cool but thats a project by itself don't bundle it 
with other tasks. I supose you refer changing the connections without stoping 
the network (Hot-wiring). That implies understanding the port connection 
internals to address a lot of possible race conditions. But having such task 
done will be definitelly great.

Undo/Redo it is also great. Qt offers a framework for that. Another cool 
feature in the same package, to compensate removing realtime-wiring, would be 
having cut and paste which is almost there.

So I would extract the realtime wiring as stand alone and adding the cut&paste 
to this usability pack.

I added this one:

I think having such end user application is the key in order to give CLAM a 
wide inclusion in distributions.
