maybe I'm not understanding much of Mix yet, but the way I see it
is that csound could be a nice way to process an audio file that
has been added into the Mix board, regulating its input with the
AUX bus. In this case, we would just need to work out a way to communicate
between Mix and csound - and I don't think that would be very complicated:
don't forget I already added IPC communication to unofficial csound
to implement sliders (I did it some months ago and had to stop because
I was too busy - I still plan to add sliders) and the code is still
buried there. To add communication for samples would not be too difficult,
and this may not even be the simpler solution.

I'm not sure what you mean... I guess I'll have to study some more.
