Thanks!

There is a version here, actually:
http://eel.olofson.net/download/ChipSound-20111207.tar.bz2
It was released along with a little Ludum Dare jam entry I made using the
"Kobo II" engine in the (rather messy) state it was in at the point. There is
a small SDL + console test program included with ChipSound, but the debug
sound test dialog in the game is probably more useful. It requires OpenGL
though, as it's built using the in-game GUI toolkit.
The game also includes a tiny MIDI sequencer, BTW...! :-D Might turn that into
some kind of "live" ChipSound code editor with MIDI support later on. I've
realized I rather like just using a text editor, and having all the sounds and
everything right there. A bit like working with a tracker (Amiga style), but
more free-form, or something. All I want is instant automatic recompiles, and
being able to record a melody or a few chords from MIDI once in a while -
other than that, I'm not really missing the world of Cubase clones much. :-)

I intend to keep the whole set of "engines" (EEL with API bindings, physics
engine etc, ZeeSpace and ChipSound) Free/Open Source. Most of it is LGPL, but
ChipSound doesn't actually have a license at this point. It'll be either LGPL
or something like the zlib license.
