It apparently can compile to: jack, alsa, ladspa, Q, super collider, oss, sndfile I only know half of those but Jack and ladspa is pretty much all you need imho. Now I do have issues with the css on: http://faust.grame.fr/catalog.php. The example clients don't work because I don't have libglitz.so.1. I couldn't download the papers, either because of some restructuring on the site(from what I could tell with my lousy french) or because it requires flash. And I haven't found any contact besides some mail address. So the website seems to be a bit of a fail, but the language seems capable.
