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. Fran�ois D�chelle
