I have added a workflow for video-postproduction. Comments welcome :-)

Qtractor is by no means a replacement for seq24. It is just a completely
different application.
Seq24 is a pattern-oriented sequencer taht can be used for
live-performance in ways that qtractor cannot be used and is not
intended to be used.
I would consider it a big mistake to remove Seq24. To replace it with
qtractor would be like replacing a helicopter with an Airbus.

I find this logical since Audacity does not fit very well into Jack.
Still I wonder what would be the replacement for it (Ardour for more
sophisticated waveediting and Mhawaveedit for simle tasks could be a
sane recommendation for Audacity-users I guess.

LMMS has a unique concept in terms of usage and workflow that is *not*
doubled by qtractor. I'd recommend to keep it.

see above - I strongly recommend to keep Seq24.

Many like timemachine and will be disappointed not to find it
automatically installed. Though I would not consider it essential.
