[PD] sound for blender apricot opensource game

[padawan12 at obiwannabe.co.uk]

I agree, and have more or less reached the stage where I could sound design
an entire small film in Pd. 

Time is obviously a factor and if I were to do this it would really need
a few other volunteers who were enthusiastic about it (sound design for
such a feature could be a challenging project)

Anyway, what stuck me was something (I think it was) Dan James said about
Elephants Dream; - that despite the visuals being entirely FOSS 
the soundtrack had to employ Windows/non-free components because of a
lack of reliable sound tools and skills. That reflects on us all rather
badly of course. 

Let's say the Blender Apricot team were amenable to the idea and we could
reach a concensus to using the new film as a vehicle to showcase Pd, would anybody
else like to be involved in a sound design team using Pd 0.40 on 64Studio with
a Python interface to the event stream? Or maybe Lua would be our timeline/event glue.

I am of course open to other suggestions or to supporting another
team with radically different ideas, but this is how it would work best for me.
