well, the benefit would, to put it simple, be to have another way of launching !bangs. As you say, this could be done through shortcuts (or skinbox) and obviously a million other ways, but I'd like to have a slider to do this, basically. I guess I could try to accomplish this through scripting (probably extensive) and skinbox... maybe it's doable...

but I'd still like this module for whatever reasons, hehe

I think it would be cool to for instance have a box with geekamp/jamptoo + two sliders: one slider for controlling volume, and one to actually control the player (play/rew...).

not a necessary module, but just a nice addition to the LS-mod family.
