ah ok. but that would be a nice proposal anyway : be
able to run a server in NRT mode, it would just sit
there and wait for a command that asks it to process a
OSC file ... this would be really nice . you are
right, this is not possible at the moment.

that's interesting, i've been wanting to do something
similar but haven't found a solution to do it in
supercollider server. like, analyzing a recording,
finding transitions and re-sorting chunks etc. seems
to be similiar to what you are trying to do.

you could write the buffer to disk and run a separate
program to analyze it, like maybe csound or so which
is capable of writing text files for example...

otherwise : you could write the buffer to disk and
analyze the sound on the language side, by spawning a
new Task or Routine and inside the new thread read
bits from the file using the SoundFile class ...

ciao , -sciss-
