Ahem...
Unfortunately, the upcoming BeOS revision R4 will completely change the way
audio is handled, and the PPC version currently has severe noise problems.
My own BeOS port is not very good at realtime IO, but I hope to change that.

Note that porting Csound to BeOS is hell; all the Mac-specific code is in
"#ifdef __MWERKS__" sections, and Metrowerks C/C++ happens to be the standard
compiler in PPC BeOS...

Bye,
        Jens.
