Ah, excellent catch, I'm getting old, I knew about the mono only playing on 
one channel, will look into that. But I'm not sure about the buzzing and/or 
if it has to to with the export to mono or mixing mono-stereo clips.
Thanks for catching this!

My english isn't very good, but for a change it's perhaps good for me to work 
on that stuff too. Any specific areas that need to be updated ?

Will ask in the #traverso irc channel, that sometimes works very well ;)

The play cursor is black and imho ugly, maybe it's due a missing color ?
Also, most audio applications use _red_ for the playcursor, what about 
switching to red for the playcursor, using a fixed color ?
I've added a couple of new colors (Marker end) so these need to be added to 
the themes as well.
And perhaps a bit of polishing, dunno.
What would be nice too I think is when users start Traverso from Gnome, that 
the ubuntu theme is used instead of the Traverso-light one?
