Oh that's a different issue altogether; I've long wanted to create
both a SoundObject for image->sound like MetaSynth but also a line
drawing based one like UPIC (and not IANNIX, which has nothing to do
with the original UPIC in my opinion). Unfortunately time hasn't ever
made itself available to me to implement (it's been on a todo list for
over 4 years now...).  =(

So, I'm certainly interested; maybe I'll do some research back into
the issue during December or January.
