CLM is not a real-time application. CLM functions can be run in realtime 
when using the realtime extension for SND though.

Hmm, personally, due to CSound's syntax, I would rather implement a new 
Lisp to run CLM in, than using CSound.

I'm not so sure it would be useless for real time. My experience 
is that running windows audio software in vmware on linux works just fine 
in realtime...
