Hi!
My background is actually in computational linguistics/phonetics and I discovered csound when I wanted to learn more about signal processing.
# the only thing i could find was the wavelet example from the csound-book, but that somehow didn't work 
# on my system.
Replacing "itablew" with "tableiw" produced working csound code for me.

# can someone explain why wavelet is so little used within audio-dsp compared fourier? 
# i did not understand the math behind wt, but according to descriptions of its approach it should deliver better # results than fft, at least for things like streching/pitching. is that right?
Looking for relevant documents, I found the following ones 
- Florian Bömers, Wavelets in real time digital audio processing, Analysis and sample implementations
http://www.boemers.de/personal/thesis.pdf
(see p. 86 there on possible problems and limitations)
- Jeremy John Wells, Real-Time Spectral Modelling of Audio for Creative Sound Transformation 
http://jezwells.org/Jez_Wells_PhD.pdf
- Julius O. Smith, Spectral Audio Processing
https://ccrma.stanford.edu/~jos/sasp/sasp.html
also has a section on wavelets
Hope this helps.
