There's also cmix, available via anonymous ftp from princeton.edu.  It
reads/writes soundfile scompatible with both the CARL package and csound.
I believe cmix is in general the fastest of the three, and I prefer it
because it allows one to use the "power and flexibility" of C to do
bizarre things to sound.  And it's free.
