Russ Pinkston at U Texas Austin has developed software for ACPA.  I do not have
his e-mail handy, but try calling the music department there.  We are using
Russels WINVIEW waveform editor at Brandeis to work on CSound files and 
playing them through ACPA.  It is a nice inexpensive card for software 
synthesis soundfile playback.  If you get any other sources of software for
ACPA I would be interested in knowing about them.
