Hi,

In the mean time, I found out that the C++ function "add_volume_source"
can receive as a parameter an amplitude-function. This function defines
a factor with which the source is multiplied as a function of the
position.
The equivalent in Scheme is the amp-func parameter of source. 
So using such a function we can then implement the functionality which I
mentioned in my previous mail. If this would not be correct, please let
me know :)
