Re: [ecasound] direction for a live/improv audio environment

Hello,

I have some notes at http://dto.freeshell.org/notebook/EcaSpace.html
and http://dto.freeshell.org/notebook/Ligeti.html

There is heavy refactoring going on, and I am pushing forward with
these projects.

I am using ecaspace.el to define the album's structure as lisp data,
and ecasound is called to render a full .wav by piecing
together/crossfading all the individual song fragments. However
ecasound is not designed for sequencing audio files in this way, and
indeed when I got to 15-18 tracks in the list, ecasound started crashing and
so I have completely stopped with this approach. I am writing it again in
Csound, and I'm not sure if I will use ecasound much in the future.
