I completely agree with that. This was my original motivation for
writing libxtract as a C library rather than a set of Pd objects.

Yes, it would be great if some improvements got made to libxtract as a
'side effect' of the Pd GSoC! Something that might be interesting would
be a set of MIR-inspired abstractions that use the libxtract/aubio
bindings + the Pd machine learning objects ([knn], [ann_mlp], [ann_som])
to do common tasks - e.g. speech recognition, audio segmentation with
labelling etc. A kind of Pd MIR toolkit.
