[chuck-dev] chuck & miniAudicle

[Spencer Salazar]

This is something that I think definitely makes sense, especially for  
Linux users.  It would be very convenient to be able to swap in  
chuck.so.1.2.0.6 or whichever at will.  One big problem would be  
ensuring binary compatibility of the chuck code that miniAudicle  
calls across different versions; since chuck isnt actually a library,  
binary compatibility across different versions isnt really a goal.   
For example, the function to initialize the virtual machine recently  
had to be changed to fully support more than 2 channel audio.  This  
raises a few complicated and potentially far-reaching design issues  
when miniAudicle wants to support either version, or any arbitrary  
version.

These problems arent insurmountable, and supporting chuck as a  
separate shared library is a goal of the miniAudicle project.  But  
there are a few other questions to figure out before that can  
successfully happen.

thanks
