I'd like to add a remark related to this request. At the moment we only have 
VUMeters for hardware channels, but in future, especially once we have advanced 
routing capabilities, we should add VUMeters for software channels as well. I'm 
thinking of a VUMeter for each track (shown in the TrackPanel), Subgroup, AUX 
bus, and master output showing the post-fader signal of the corresponding 
channel. These can be helpful to follow the signal path visually. Or how else 
would you check if an AUX bus really receives a send signal, or if a signal is 
routed through a Subgroup or directly to the master output? Or if a certain 
plugin overdrives the master output?

As to Paul's request, I think once we have the additional 'software' VUMeters, 
there will rarely be need for the 'hardware' meterbridge anymore. It is still 
important when setting up a recording session, or routing through external 
effect units etc., but most of the time we don't actually want to know if there 
is a signal at a certain hardware channel, but if it arrives at a certain 
track. So my suggestion is, if you (Paul, and others as well of course) can 
live with it until 0.50.0, let's ignore it for now and let's hope Remon agrees 
to focus on routing once 0.40.0 is released.

Greetings
Nicola
