Oh yes, it is not only possible, it has been done, but by Trevor Wishart, for CDP
(end of commercial plug), using pvoc analysis files. So prolific has he been that I
have never had cause to look at the pvoc support opcodes in Csound, but it seems
that the new opcodes by Richard Karpen should do quite a lot of what you want. The
averaging you describe might need a new opcode, however.
