I'd be interested.
It would likely take me some time though, and maybe some guidance, but

it's something I want to learn. I dabbled in C but can only read simple

code. I start to study computer science next week, which will give me

access to the library at least, to K&R and a bunch of others.

The lectures at university are mostly in java but C is required at some

point, and I guess it's better to start learning it sooner rather than

later, besides, it seems to be needed for all the neat audio stuff ;)
So yeah, I guess I should get the code, put it in a git repo and just

start hacking...
