Not quite yet, as the interface is still in constant flux. There are some pieces that are missing, the most important being an arrow pre-processor that performs the optimizations we need. But we will get it out this summer since there will be a new course taught at Yale this fall on FRP/sound synthesis that uses the new framework. >> We plan to have a release this summer, so I've been looking for a >> cross-platform audio solution too.

If I remember correctly it's the installation of PortAudio itself on Windows. Last time I tried (which is last year) I could not get PortAudio to build. It had something to do with some MingW/cygwin/Visual C++ business and I couldn't find any clear and definite instructions. I have to admit that I didn't try hard enough and I moved on to other things. I use Mac for development myself, but a large number of users out there will be using Windows. In my opinion, if something cannot be easily installed within 3 steps, we got a problem and we need to fix it.
