Hello,
jMax has now an Xtra for Director, is IMHO a tool for interactive audio,
and is already under GNU General Public License... It is already ported
to Linux (and Windows). And it needs a community of developers/coders
(well, it already has it, but the more we are, the more fun it is).
Just my 0.02 euros.
