Changes, changes, changes

    I've made some changes to the interface that I think might be
useful.

    First, the bypass state will now be saved for each piece of the
interface with the exception of the global bypass (that would make no
sense).  I've used this to update the RIAA_EQ.jam file in the examples
directory so that the compressors are bypassed when you load it.
Important note - bypass states will NOT be saved if you are running with
the -d option since the "actual states will not get updated to the
"pending" states unless the transport is running.  That drove me nuts
until I figured it out ;-)

    Second, the precision of the EQ sliders in the 30 band GEQ had been
set to 1dB due to GUI real estate limitations.  I have removed the
slider value display from the top of each slider and added a pair of
labels under the GEQ.  These labels are updated whenever the cursor
moves over a slider or whenever a slider is moved.  You can take a look
at the end of src/callbacks.c to see how this was done.  There is also
an interesting comment there about how objects are passed to the
callback.  The sliders now have a single step size of .1dB and a page
step size of .2dB.  I realize that this is overkill but it was useful in
getting the right EQ values for the RIAA curve and then smoothing out
the curve.

    If there is no objection to this I will commit.  If I don't hear
anything back within a week I'll commit anyway ;-)

    Isn't it about time to go to 1.0?  Ardour is just about ready to
release and the only thing that I've seen recently that would be useful
was the addition of RMS to the meters (waiting for Steve ;-)  Anyone,
anyone, Beuhler...
