Rich, 

Please design it :)

I want this design for a long time. I made a visualization plugin (bars
plot) but it was never integrated. Ok, it was just a hack, it used to
block mplayer (was using FIFO to export audio and it's FFT to the
visualization plugin, which was another program)

BTW, do you know a beautiful plot method/equation? I can take some time
do develop the plugins :)
