Aside from the fact that BeOS is widely acknowledged as ideal for audio
software, I have recently heard  that Steinberg are preparing a port of their
'Nuendo' application (introduced for SG machines) not only to Windows NT, but
also to BeOS, and that Emagic are going to port their whole product line to
BeOS. Clearly this OS is hitting critical mass, and must surely be a necessary
new platform for Csound. Is anyone on this task yet?
