Yes, Ted did some work on this in Tweak. The goal was to enable a user 
to get an understanding about some other user's project (this was 
actually triggered by some eToys project of yours where I couldn't for 
the hell of it figure out how you'd done it and wondered if there isn't 
a way for the system to explain that project to me). This is an 
interesting line of work but not quite complete enough to be feasible 
right now (also, it works only in Tweak since it relies on being able to 
record the user vs. the system modifications - in Tweak, we keep track 
of such end-user changes in an objects "tweaks" which is a list of user 
modifications readily available for analysis).

I don't know much about either CSound or OSC. It'd be great if there 
were some eToys UI for it, that would allow one to play a series of 
notes from some holder or so.
