Unification of multiple nodes belonging to the same application

I personally like the idea of being able to optionally split a node into its outputs, inputs, and monitors for nicer looking graphs. Combined is a sensible default, but the option would be nice.

That seems like a good idea, should be relatively straightforward to implement, I have setup a branch to experiment with this.

Unification looks great, except in cases of self linkage, maybe there is a better way to display those

also this may not be very intuitive when there are several tabs in Firefox for example, maybe add some sort of a divider in-between?

Also apps that interact with my mic and headphones at the same time can look confusing (here is Discord for example)

I will be adding parameters to control the bezier curve, also you can make the node background transparent to better see the self links

I agree, as a temporary workaround you can hold down the control key, which will show the id of the tabs in between

While I can see how this can be confusing I think this is fine as rerouting audio like this isn't that common; also grouping nodes together makes finding the input/output port you want to connect to easier(as they are in one place), plus this makes the graph easier to parse visually imo,

the ultimate solution to this would be to make grouping nodes a setting that the user can turn on and off based on their preference/usecase.

Other ideas/suggesetion are ofcourse welcome.
