Popular glue code within game dev is lua, so Pdlua from Claude and the peeps at
Goto10 seems a very useful bridge.

Another powerful tool is OSC, most useful in the prototyping stage of development.
It's easy and helpful to encapsulate all your sound objects with an OSC interface
to make them portable. It has the advantage of being able to run the game code 
and sound code on two separate machines, nice decoupling of resources.
