Wow, that's very nice, Bill ! Much more useful than the old GL example.
It will be interesting to see where you take this feature. Btw, how can
I turn it off to revert to the normal FFT display ?

On a down note: I'm still having a terrible time with ALSA/SBLive and
Snd. I'm getting persistent xruns on playback (haven't even tried
recording recently), no matter how I invoke (set! (dac-size)). I've
plugged in various values, Snd doesn't complain, but nothing improves. I
feel like I'm missing something about buffers, but where/how else would
I change them if not via dac-size ?

OTOH I built Snd with just OSS support. Of course it doesn't report any
xruns, but the traveling cursor is out of sync with the playback. Any
suggestions ??
