maybe?
Let me explain. The building of patches is what currently
doesnt work at all, so if a cli is easy to write for that, that
would help ALOT!
Ok, I'll have a look at doing this.
P.S.: The CLI is not only good for us blind
people,
there are alot of benefits for such an interface, think
scripting.
Also load/save files can simply become a list of commands for building the
patch. I believe this is how PD works, so maybe that has some potential too.

I think ecasound has provided a perfectly good example to follow. The
engine should be runnable as a daemon and there needs to be a real-time
control syntax. That way, any number of scripts or guis can be built for
special or general purposes.
