CSound server questions

[John Maloney]

Hi, Victor and Bert.

I agree with Bert -- it would probably be most convenient for Scratch  
to use the MIDI option, if possible. Ideally, it would work the same  
as MIDI does on other versions of Linux, so we could just use the  
Squeak MIDI Plugin. That said, I have not explored how the MIDI plugin  
works on Linux. Supposedly you can use it to talk to the Timidity  
software MIDI synth.

Could we arrange for the shell script that launches Scratch to also  
launch the CSound server when Scratch is launched and close it when  
Scratch quits?
