Just looking it over again I found something that needs to be changed. 
See the part of the patch at the bottom. The UpdateInstrumentNames 
function is not allowed to exist because that means it has to be 
manually called each time the name is modified. We recently changed to 
use the gobject system, and it should be used for all update methods.

The proper way to do this would be to attach a callback to the "name" 
signal on the instrument object. There is already a callback in 
InstrumentViewer called OnInstrumentName. The same should exist for 
MixerStrip. The only reason it doesn't is because you completed this 
patch before I had a change to convert MixerStrip to the gobject system. 
That conversion includes removing the Update method (again, because 
Updates are bad) and put in signal callbacks for each specific thing.

Since I've already implemented it in OnInstrumentName, it shouldn't be 
hard to do the same for MixerStrip, but if you want me to make the 
changes instead just let me know.
