Speaking as a Logic user (hence the permanent worried frown and splitting headache), I totally endorse this suggestion. Although Logic imports Doggiebox .aif files without problem, they are audio imports and the processor load is noticeable. To have a plug-in, with the familiar Doggiebox front-end, using MIDI commands to trigger a set of samples, loaded into the Logic EXSP24 sample player would be grerat. To those of you may be wondering why I don't just create a Logic 'Instrument', using Doggiebox samples (or any others) and trigger them from MIDI, I refer to you remarks about frowns and headaches, also hairlessness!

Is there a possibility that Doggiebox would ever function as a AU or VST plug in?

This would allow DB songs to be edited within DAW software and to play in realtime without export to file.

Is this redundant? Maybe MIDI functionality allows this already, but I haven't figure out how to run DB without an actual MIDI device (nor do I feel the need to bother). It could make the experience of writing and recording much more seamless and spontaneous.

Plug-in status could also open up a new market, since record-o-philes seem to gravitate towards plug-ins like bubble gum to your sneaker.

This may have been discussed. It may not be feasible. I'm just sitting and pondering.
