Most realtime sound processing doesn't need specialised hardware anymore, and it's been like that for years. I bet you say that because you're trying to find a use for a Scheme-to-FPGA converter... I suggest first finding something that can't be done with an ordinary processor.
Even realtime video processing is getting to the point that specialised hardware is getting obsolete or already is.
Also, I think that the plan was for 48 hours, not 48 months...
With code written in CPS, writing filters seems natural to implement as the soundflow follows it...
what kind of sound processing software do you have in mind? because, depending on whether you want a dataflow language or not, it can change a lot of things implementation-wise. If you plug two components in the same inlet, does it automatically add their outputs? Are there inlets and outlets at all?
