I think there is a bug in soundin, at least for some platforms --
seems OK on Windows but bust on SGI

Remember there are 2 granular opcodes and 2  or more other related
ones.  grain is the first GS opcode frim Paris, and has little
control.  I have used it for textures and some other sounds which are
what I want.  There is also Allan Lee's grain4, called granule, which
has many more controls, but a very long argument list.  Used propoerly
it should give you more control. 

sndwarp is also a granular synthesis methd, but with a strict
limitation to time stretching.  I think it is wonderful and have to
stop myself over using it.  both fof and fog are granular; beyond me
though. 

I hope others can answer your other questions.  I have never used
loscil for example.
