[LAD] Something like Processing for audio

[Darren Landrum]

Sorry for starting this entire argument. I'm just tired of getting 
nowhere with all of the same tools that everyone else seems to have no 
problem with. I have a very bad habit of putting myself under a great 
deal of pressure to exceed everyone's expectations of me.

Look, I know that everything I'm asking for exists on the Linux 
platform. The problem is, it doesn't all exist in one place, or under a 
single language. I'm convinced at this point that starting over from 
scratch with a solid design is preferable to trying to use several 
disparate tools and somehow glue them all together.

I've already played around with code here and there to try out some 
different approaches to this problem, but nothing that I've bothered 
keeping around. Starting tonight, I'm going to draft a very detailed 
design, create a code hosting account somewhere (probably Google Code), 
and get started. I will keep the list apprised of any progress with 
regular emails.

It's been pointed out to me that many people on the list seem to think 
that I'm trying to get someone else to code this for me. That is not and 
never was my intention, and I apologize for any miscommunication on my 
part for that. I am a very slow and not very good coder, though, and it 
might take a little while to see any progress.

First things first, though. A solid design.
