Hi Bert,

        I'd suggest considering writing programs in SAOL, rather than
writing SAOL encoders/decoder tools, as a project -- be it an instrument
and effects library, or even better a generator system, that generated
SAOL code from a higher-level language or a GUI (for example, a Web
application that let people specify aspects of a class of physical
models by setting parameters, and then generated a SAOL program that
was the instrument).

        These sorts of projects (especially the generator-type projects)
would result in a large base of SAOL code being built up quickly, which
the people working on decoders can then use to test/optimize their decoders.
In addition, it gives musicians instruments which they can use.
