[PD-dev] vamp plugins for PD (GSoC)

Yes, I have seen that. For these two libraries it's of course better to 
use the direct bindings ....

At the moment I don't think about a particular feature. I am in general 
interested in music information retrieval and thought these plugins 
would be nice to have in Pd ...

Yes this would be an option ...

For me, as I am interested in DSP and similar things, it would be also 
nice to additionally add new or other MIR/feature extraction algorithms.
However, I think that it would be better to add such algorithms to 
libxtract or any other vamp plugin collection, then also other projects 
would benefit from it.
But on the other hand this wouldn't be a pd-only project, so I don't 
know if it is suited for the GSoC program ... but in the end they would 
be also available in pd - through the VAMP plugin host external ;)
