  Description     : tool for real-time spatial audio reproduction

 The SoundScape Renderer (SSR) is a tool for real-time spatial audio
 reproduction providing a variety of rendering algorithms, e.g. Wave Field
 Synthesis, Higher-Order Ambisonics and binaural techniques.
 .
 It is possible to interact with a soundscape (moving sound sources, adjusting
 levels) either via a graphical user interface or via network commands.

this software is targeted at spatial audio research (which happens to be my
field of work) and provides a uniform interface to multiple spatialization
techniques. it's probably comparable to OpenAL, but differs in the methodology
(soundscaperenderer is a (collection of) application(s), OpenAL is a library)
and the target audience (SSR can be used for concert reproduction, whereas
OpenAL is more game orientend)-
I would like to do the packaging under the pkg-multimedia-team umbrella (if
somebody there is interested :-))
