Scott Wilson and I actually talked about this some time ago, and I  
think the solution would be to make SDIF synth UGens. One difficulty  
that came up though was how different SDIF files can be.

Can anyone actually find a spec for them? If so, I can probably code  
the interface and UGens quickly.

Where I have going with the ATS UGens recently is looking at ways to  
completely bypass the loading and sorting of the files in the  
language. The UGens already have to do math to find where in the data  
buffer data is stored, so I was going to re-do ATS to simply load the  
ATS file onto the server as a buffer, then the UGens would figure out  
the offsets needed to gather data. I think the same could be done with  
SDIF and even CSounds PV and LPC UGens.

The OTHER stumbling block I was hitting had to do with simply loading  
the files to the server. b_allocRead won't work since they aren't  
soundfiles. So, I need to define other OSC commands to do this. I  
think I know what I need to do, but haven't had the time. If someone  
CAN dig up an SDIF spec, I'll start on it again.
