There's a section about the clm-snd connection in clm.html -- CLM and Snd or something. CLM has various wrappers to start Snd and open the output of with-sound and so on (clm-snd.lisp). The catch is that this depends on the FFI and the presence of X11, so it may not work in your setup. I think

CLM in Snd uses whatever extension language you've chosen, so in your case CLM is using Scheme. Lisp (Common Lisp) is not yet supported in Snd. When you run Snd's with-sound, you're running CLM in Scheme (the CL in CLM no longer means anything). ___

CMN is a Lisp program, so you need Lisp to use it. Clisp is a version of Lisp, as is MCL. Snd is a separate program, only loosely related to CMN. I don't know anything about iBooks -- is that an Apple computer? If so, you might be able to use openmcl.
