Initial import of csound5 version 5.01, a software synthesizer and
sequencer. Csound is a software synthesis package in the tradition of so-called music-N languages, among which the best-known is Music V. It consists of an orchestra- and score-driven executable, written in C for portability. Since Csound is a computational language, it is highly flexible and efficient; complexity is gained only at the expense of computation time. To do: - fix pthread issues in csound5 (is breaking realtime audio) - use options.mk framework for various modules - enable portaudio module (requires audio/portaudio-devel) - port portmidi to netbsd

+Csound is a software synthesis package in the tradition of so-called
+music-N languages, among which the best-known is Music V. It consists
+of an orchestra- and score-driven executable, written in C for
+portability. Since Csound is a computational language, it is highly
+flexible and efficient; complexity is gained only at the expense of
+computation time. Basically Csound reads some files and creates the
+result as a file on disk or, on faster machines, through a DAC in real
+time.
