Yes, Giovanni Mugnai ported that. I haven't heard from him in a while,
but I'vr put a shout-out to him on the Haiku forum.  If he doesn't pick up,
maybe I or somebody can take a look.

Unfortunately I remeber it had some annoying bugs -- the fault of the
Qt port itself, I think, not CsoundQT.

Oh, so many reasons... (:-))   Mostly I guess is that, of all the OSs I've used,
Haiku is the most congenial.  I refuse to use Windows, and I've never had a Mac.
Linux is good for things that Haiku won't do (Haiku browsers all seem to fall down
on something, for istance, and the GIMP and Audacity are sometimes the only
tools for the job) but I find its UI much clunkier than Haiku.

There are a lot of little features that work for me.  I like to leave what I'm
working on -- or have been working on -- ready on the Desktop.  In Haiku,
when you shut down and reboiot, all the folders that were open before
appear in their original positions.  I have 9 Workspaces, which appear in a
small window. in the bottom corner, and miniatures of all open windows
are shown there.  Some Workspaces remain unchanged for months!

Then there is MIDI.  The MID( facilties in Haiku are superior to any other.
MIDI endpoints are named, and it's trivial for any program to create a
'Producer' or 'Consumer' and find and connect to another app's endpoint.

In particular, I long ago wrote the 'MusicWeqver' -- something like a Max
for MIDI.  It's actually more general than that,, able to pass around data
of any kind, tagge4d with its nature.  As well as MIDI, it has modules to
handle text and arbitrary (stdio) streams.  All this is matched by the
underlying mechanisms of Haiku.  It could possibly be ported to another
OS, but it would be a major task.

Anyway, it satisfies all my musical needs very well.  (Though I must point
out I'm not much of a muasician!)  Typically I have MusicWeaver configurations
that take my simple input from a couple of keyboards (digipiano and Axiom)
and route it to multple voices in fluidsynth and Csound.  Fills things out nicely!

Audio in Haiku still could do with some work. Latency is fine -- a lot better
than standard Linux on the same laptop -- but sample rate interpolation for
instance is only linear, so I have to ensure that Csound is running at the system
rate (48000 for me) or I can get nasty artefacts

Hope that gives you some idea!
