    - [x] Clicking waterfall adds new demodulator when none visible
    - [x] Drag center of demodulator on waterfall to change frequency
    - [x] Drag edge of demodulator on waterfall to change bandwidth
    - [x] Double-Click to move demodulator to frequency within it's current range
    - [x] Hold alt and drag range on waterfall to set demodulator frequency + bandwidth
    - [x] Hold alt+shift and drag range on waterfall for a new demodulator
    - [x] Hover demodulator on waterfall and press 's' to toggle squelch
    - [x] Hover demodulator on waterfall and press 'space' to toggle stereo
    - [x] Hover demodulator on waterfall and press 'd' or 'delete' to delete it
    - [x] Keyboard arrows adjust frequency, shift for faster change
    - [ ] Undo / Redo action
  - IQ Recording and playback
    - [ ] Recording
    - [ ] Playback
  - Audio
    - [ ] Recording
  - Optimization
    - [ ] Update visuals to OpenGL 3.x
    - [ ] Resolve constant refresh on visuals that don't change often
    - [ ] Resolve driver/platform vertical sync issues
    - [ ] Group and divide IQ data distribution workload instead of 100% distribution per instance

Advanced Goals:
--------------
  - Update visuals to support OpenGL ES
  - Basic demodulator filter(s) that can be enabled and tweaked visually
  - Support multiple simultaneous device usage
    * Categorize devices by antenna connections
    * Allow locked frequencies to activate unused devices to continue demodulation on same antenna
  - Implement digital demodulation supported by liquid-dsp: (http://liquidsdr.org/doc/modem.html)
    * PSK, DPSK, ASK, QAM, APSK, BPSK, QPSK, OOK, SQAM, Star Modem(?)
  - Integrate LUA
    * Expose liquid-dsp functionality
    * Scriptable liquid-dsp demodulation
    * Scriptable digital demodulation output handlers
      - Create block output devices on *nix?
      - Create socket outputs?
      - Visual outputs?
    * Take control of additional devices and spawning new demodulators (i.e. trunkers)
    * Script manager / live editor
    * Provide scriptable liquid-dsp modulation for trancievers?


Target Platforms:
