Hi Carlo,

I don't have a definitive answer to your question.

The application you describe slightly resembles freewheeling. Which
is also GPL so you could build on it.
http://freewheeling.sourceforge.net/

Clam could be of help on the user-interface building (in case you
find Clam widgets useful), routing and processing. But I think
there is not much processing in your app, and the routing seems
fairly simple. Moreover, IMO the hard part of your app is the
application work-flow (i.e. first record a new sample, add a new
sample processing, then connect the player, choose the play mode,
then play it, etc.). And for this work-flow part Clam would be
of little help --other than abstracting the playing engine.

Cheers!
