Yes, the realtime extension that I wrote compiles a scheme-like language 
into hard realtime-safe c code, which can be run and scheduled while snd 
is running. Its not optimizing as much as faust, but mostly its not 
significantly slower than hand-written C either. Sometimes it can even be 
faster. Its a practical language to get real things done because it blends 
into guile scheme and common lisp music so that everything is in the same 
source and communicates with each other. Its possible to implement things 
like ardour or supercollider in snd if anyone want to do that (although 
they have to fix some of the many bugs first :-) ).
