holy shit, it worked!!!  :)

sorry for my enthusiasm, but you don't know how I've been struggling
with getting something to work this past week (on my linux system in
general).  imagine my excitement just now when I chucked polyfony.ck
and got sound!

now I must change that script to get me a moog ;)  this is
great...exactly what I wanted in a system.  something catered to live
playing, where I can define the code prior to performance and then
focus my attention on my midi keyboard during performance.

I realize I represent a small subset of people who would actually want
to use chuck for this purpose (not live coding, but playing a midi
keyboard), but I think it would be worthwhile to mention it in the
tutorial.

apparently so!  thank you for your kind, quick, and very informative
answer.  of course, the downside to enlightening me is that you will
now have to put up with me on this list ;)
