I've considered that as well. The way it would be handled by XAP is=20
connecting all GUIs to the same host, and either give them=20
priorities, or just "last activated output takes control". It doesn't=20
really matter how many GUIs (or other senders - the automation=20
sequencer would be one) there are; the same system still works.
