Hi, I wonder if anyone else thinks that it would be very usefull if
there were some easy way to compile some sort of database of the
"correctness" of the various csound orc ugens and function generators.
In other words, is there a workable way to provide some sort of
information as to what ugens are generally known to work, and which ones
are either untested or known to be broken? 

I'm thinking both of the person who is casually trying out csound for
the first  time, and most likely does not want to immediately venture
into source-level debugging, and also of people like me, whose time is
limited, and hence might in some circumstances want to avoid using
opcodes that have not been verified to work as advertised.

I suspect that at any given point in time, probably somewhere between 10
and 50 percent of the included opcodes don't work correctly in many
common circumstances. This is just a wild guess based on my own
experience, and from my reading of this mailing list. 

So, it would be helpfull to know which of these ugens are heavilly used
and generally assumed to work, and which are the ones that haven't been
really exercised by anyone who knows enough to tell that they don't work
right.

Of course, the problem here is how to compile this sort of information.
I don't have an answer for this. Maybe for starters, if people would
post to the list when they have used a certain ugen and found no
problems? Of course, this would add a lot of traffic to this list, but
maybe it would be worth it.
