There is a Head Related Transfer Function opcode in the latest 
release, but I have not tried it.

HRTFs present serious and probably insurmountable problems when 
interpolating between them for angles other than those which have 
been sampled.  Also, I think they would be very CPU intensive.

My ugen does more than just the HRTF function of replicating a sound 
source a fixed distance from the head.

I want to review my code before making it available, and I think it 
will take me about two weeks before I can do that.  I will post to 
the list when I have it ready.  I hope to make available MSDOS and 
Linux binaries of the latest Csound version, with the binaural ugen 
and my other ugens for those who are not into recompiling Csound.
