+- we could have a bouncing line as a base, like a quix:
+  - two dots moving on a linear path and getting a new random dx,dy when hitting
+    a border
+  - the abs(dx/dy) - speed of movement - could be scaled by the sound level
+  - we would need to rotate, stretch and clip the waveform drawing to fit the
+    line
+  - we could scratch the rotate part and just stretch/squeeze x and shift/clip y
+
+xxxscope
+- have a matrix of source and drawing-functions
+  - sources: audio, spectrum, audio-low, audio-mid, audio-hi
+  - drawing: waves (style, color), space (style,color)
+- have the usual shade and move operations
+- have a way to draw each operator in one or more color-channels
+- we could calculate the sound-level (like in level element) and modulate
+  colors/movements
+  - for filtered low/mid/hi audio we could use different peak-falloffs
 
 = TODO =
 - element maker template
 - test for baseclass
 
+- we probably want a VisBin like the gnome video effects
+- this way we can specify pipeline fragments
+- VisBin can use a videomixer to switch effects based on time or song
+- VisBin can e.g. control a text-overlay to render the title into the 
+  visualisation for a while
