A few months back there was some talk on this list about a Csound web
player. I think the discussion fizzled out because 1) there seemed to be
an existing online Csound renderer that John had developed at Bath and 2)
there was some difference in opinion as to what language would be best to
use. If I'm not mistaken the main idea was to have the music rendered on a
server somewhere and then streamed through a webpage but my question is
this: how difficult would it be to build a Csound browser plugin that
would render and playback the music. One exists for Pd and I've have some
good success with it in the the past albeit only with simple examples.
Does anyone out there know how difficult this might be to implement?

Why can't you just write a simple shell script that looks something like
this:

csound  $1

Then you just associate the file type .csd in firefox or whatever
browser and or OS you use with the script name. The script will also
work in your file manager then also.

I was thinking more along the lines of using the software channel buses to
interact with an instance of Csound from within a browser.
