[plt-scheme] music in scheme

Fluxus comes with a synthesis and sample playback server with a scheme api
for controlling it, eg:

(play-now (mul (adsr 0 0.1 0 0) (sine 440)))

Will play a short sine tone at 440hz

However, it's not really very mature, only works on linux and osx, and I'm
still working on the documentation - so I'd really recommend rsc, for
using plt scheme with supercollider (a very well used and mature synth):
