I'll add that.

The problem with a complete migration is that drawable is not supported in
gtk3 which means we have to basically reimplement the custom widgets like
the parametric eq, compressor graphs and meters. So it is not a small task
to migrate this app.

I'm looking at embedding a clutter stage into the new window now. It might
be the way to get a more advanced UI without having to completely rebuild
the existing interface.
