da_Soundscape is for playing one or two lists of audio files. Each list has it’s own options and can be played on a different sound card.

If anyone wants to try it, I've created a page on da-Share for it.

No help file yet, but it should be easy enough to figure out. Use the + button to add mp3 / wav files or drop them onto the grid.
 
Version 0.9.7.0 (2018-09-26)
* [new] Added ability to rearrange items in the selected layer (via first column)
* [enh] Now has 3 audio layers
* [enh] Clearer indication of playing cue in the list (green dot)
 
Coming along nicely.
The 3rd layer is handy. In testing just now I've set up this:
  1. ambient wind noise constantly playing, pan = centre
  2. several different thunder noises, play order = random, pan = random
  3. several different animal noises, play order = random, pan = random
Makes for quite a good overall background sound, would be great if you had stereo speakers spread a little way a part in your yard.

One question: the delay min and delay max, is that in seconds and exactly what is it for?

Its the delay between when one file finishes and next starts. If both set to 0, its instant start. If both set to same value, it will be that many seconds between sounds. If values are different, then it will randomly pick a value between them as the delay.
At least, that's my understanding/experience with it :)

* [new] Support for more file types (now plays mp3, wav, wma, flac, aiff & ogg files)
* [new] Reverb option (per layer)
* [new] Pause buttons for selected layer and all layers
* [enh] Changing audio devices while running now updates currently playing sound
* [enh] Double click sounds list plays sound once when layer is stopped, or jumps if layer running
* [enh] Clear layer function now confirms before proceeding
* [enh] Hover hints for layer buttons now show that layer's status
* [fix] Layer controls didn't show correct status during delay periods
* [fix] Other sounds would sometimes restart when changing audio devices

Thanks, David.
I'm attempting to synchronise Beagle-bone Black, Raspberry Pi 2 and a Pixlite 16 controllers in my display, with a common sound source.
I'll give it a try and let you know how it went.
