Lets start by making sure you know about http://ardour.org/

Then lets move on to make sure you know about the Gnome::Canvas
widget, which really isn't a part of Gnome (at least, no more than GTK
is - it has no more dependencies on Gnome than GTK does).

The canvas is a much better widget than a DrawingArea for this stuff
because of its support for alpha blending, z-order stacking and more.
