Edwin Groothuis abc58f9ffc [PATCH, UPDATE] Update audio/csound and audio/csound-manual
Update audio/csound to 5.06

	csound has been "liberated" and is now GPL, see
	http://csounds.com/VercoeGift.html The corresponding csound
	entry in LEGAL should be removed, note that csound-manual
	isn't updated to 5.06 and is still subject to a restrictive
	license.

	With thanks to Erik Trulsson and Mel at -questions for
	patch-Top-csound.c

Csound is a programming language designed and optimized for sound rendering and
signal processing. The language consists of over 450 opcodes - the operational
codes that the sound designer uses to build "instruments" or patches.
Although there are an increasing number of graphical "front-ends" for the
language, you typically design and modify your patches using a word processor.
Usually, you create two text files - a .orc (orchestra) file containing the
"instruments," and a .sco (score) file containing the "notes."
In Csound, the complexity of your patches is limited by your knowledge,
interest, and need, but never by the language itself. For instance, a 22,050
oscillator additive synthesizer with 1024 stage envelope generators on each is
merely a copy-and-paste operation. The same goes for a 1 million voice
granular texture!
Have you ever dreamed of sounds such as these? Well in Csound you can. And in
Csound these dreams can come true!
