I'm working on a part-time project that, amoungst other things, needs a Mac
to be able to determine when sounds start and stop.  What I'd like to do is
use my MacRecorder.

What I am looking for is software that I can hook into my MPW program that
let me:

	Initialize the Macrecorder
	Get a sample of the current input (eg: the next "byte")
	Clean up afterwards

My current theory is that by just reading in samples and averaging the last
N or so, I can get a pretty good "level" meter that will be able to determine
the start/stop of sound bursts to within .01 second or so.

Anyone know where I can get such software?  Thanks.
