Sound/sample processing library

I checked out http://www.red-bean.com/~jimb/guile/ideas.html and
was surprised to see:

This is right up my alley!  I've written a C library of basic
audio functions (support for hardware, headers, data types, etc)
called sndlib:

which is already tied into Guile in my sound editor:

And a ton of sound-processing functions can be found in clm
(a Common Lisp and C based Music V implementation):

If there's interest, I could package all this up in some
pretty way; or perhaps help anyone else who wants to do something
along these lines.  As I understand the copyright issue (I'm
no lawyer), Stanford owns the copyright since I'm doing this
work as their employee; they, however, have said the software
author can decide distribution policy (or whatever the word
is), so I placed the sound editor under the GPL, and have
always made all the code freeware available via anonymous
ftp at ccrma-ftp.stanford.edu on the pub/Lisp directory.
