never used it myself, but a german linux magazine wrote a review and
they hated it. otoh, it was mainly stability issues of the
overpriced professional version, and i think there's a free edition
which might be ok.
as to free pascal, i've been doing some cs homework with it lately -
we were to implement some basic algos and the tutor couldn't read c,
so i had to port my stuff. from that experience i can say that the
fp code is quite a bit slower compared to gcc (only bare-bones
pointer-list operations and some integer math, no i/o), so i don't
know how well it deals with massive sound computations.
