First, cubase is not really the tool I would choose to edit podcast, but 
anyway: a cubase project describes internal settings of a project under 
cubase, such as plugin and mixinx desk states, etc... with separate 
files for the audio data. Importing the project file itself would be 
useless for an audio editor, without even talking about all the work to 
reverse engineer a file format which is closed, I think.

Last time I tried jokosher (last month), it could do the basic editing 
for eg podcast without a problem, but for people doing "serious" musical 
editing, jokosher is still not enough (which is normal seeing when the 
project was started). And anyway, from what I understood, jokosher's 
goal is not to go after those kind of big softwares (we already have 
rosegarden, ardour for that), right ?

cheers,
