Hi,

I've just filed a RFP bug for foo-yc20, I think it will be a nice 
addition to the linuxaudio synths and instruments.

Hi,

Sort of, but there are a few gotchas. The organ (by design) is very 
computationally heavy. Therefor it really needs to be compiled with SSE. 
I don't really think you can even run it on a machine without SSE, 
because such processors tend to be too slow anyway. Also, it would make 
sense to package a more efficient version of the dsp code. The actual 
dsp is written in faust and the intermediate (generated) c++ file in the 
distributed 1.0.0 is (iirc) geared towards fast compiling, not efficiency.

If it's possible to release optimized deb's, I am more than willing to 
help you reach this goal. The build script is quite rudimentary. Can you 
point me towards things you'd like to see in the build system?

I have some improvements in SVN anyway which need releasing, so we could 
work together to do a more robust release compatible with debian packaging.
