[Bf-committers] Modernizing Video Sequencer Editor UI

[Paulo José Amaro]

(and anyone else interested) could take a look and see if something more
could be improved, I'll be glad. And I did submit the proposal at bf
function list. Will we continue to from there?

Changes in "6. Sound Strip", "8. Effect Strips: Strip Tab", and "17. Meta
Strip: Volume Mixer"
