Thanks Jeff!
Currently, there is no function that returns time-of-day. We will put
this on the list for the next minor release coming soon. It should be
similar to C's gettimeofday().
Yes, the audicle is well on its way (as if ChucK does not pose enough
threat to your computer's stability).
Best,
Ge!
