There are, of course, languages like SuperCollider and CSound, which ARE made for expressing audio algorithms. However, again they are generally interpreted.
Sfront compiles a high-level music language (Structured Audio) to C, and there's no reason in theory that audio drivers couldn't be written for LADSPA. At the moment, though, all of the audio drivers are for interface APIs, not plug-in APIs ... the first plug-in API for sfront is most likely to be for AudioUnits, since I've moved from Linux to OS X as my computing platform these days. But anyone can write an audio driver for sfront, see: http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~lazzaro/sa/sfman/devel/adriver/index.html for info on writing new audio drivers for sfront, and: http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~lazzaro/sa/ For more general info on Structured Audio and sfront. --- John Lazzaro http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~lazzaro lazzaro [at] cs [dot] berkeley [dot] edu ---
