Did this not go through?

It's a pain really:

sel = si.Selection

   source = param.Source
   if source.Type == "Mixer":
       clips = source.Clips

       for eachClip in clips:

           model = param.Parent3DObject.Model
           paramRelativeName = param.FullName[len(model.Name) + 1:]

           for eachItem in eachClip.Source.SourceItems:
               if eachItem.Target == paramRelativeName:
                   drivingFCurves.AddItems(eachItem.Source)

   return drivingFCurves

fcurves = findParamClipFCurve(sel(0).PosY)
log(fcurves.Count)

Calling all scripting experts...

From a parameter object (a shape weight for example), how can I
retrieve the fcurve animating this parameter, knowing that this fcurve
is stored in a mixer clip? Where do I go from Parameter.Source?

It must be fairly simple, but the answer eludes me. I am using Python.

Thanks,
