thought comes to mind. if the scripts run for a period of time to produce the mp3, and you want a sound outside of that time range. your scripts will say no. i just woke up from a nap, so am probably not being clear. if you've got a 20 second piece, and your scripts say run for 10 seconds, those last 10 seconds are going to go away never to be heard.

If you run ChucK on a Unix-like system, like Linux or OSX, as a restricted user, it shouldn't be able to do anything nasty to the actual installation of the operating system. OTOH, the low-level connection to the sound interface means that the watchdog needs to be active, or folks can crash your computer with an endless loop without waits. I'm not completely sure about the status of the watchdog on Linux. This would be hosted on a virtual linux server somewhere so there isn't a sound dev. Probably what would happen is the scripts would be ran for a short period of time to produce an mp3 and then that gets posted.
