[Audacity-nyquist] VCR in Nyquist

[Roger B. D. <rb...@cs...>]

That's a great idea (using Nyquist as a VCR and file converter) -- I =
wish I
had thought of that at the beginning of the class I just taught, because =
I
think some students might have enjoyed that as a project.

To do this in Nyquist, you'd need
	(1) a new function that returns audio input,
	(2) a time-of-day function to tell you what time it is
	(3) a sleep function to allow Nyquist to avoid busy-waiting
	(4) a function to write mp3 files

Getting precise audio timing could be hard because of the way Nyquist's
runtime system is set up, but I'm assuming an error of 1 second or so is =
ok.
Otherwise, all of these are fairly simple. I'm planning to incorporate =
some
new code into Nyquist over the summer, so I'll add this to the list. If
anyone would like to work on this now, let me know -- I could use the =
help.
