You know - I have been thinking of stuff that could be useful to
someone wanting to get certain sounds out of the RCX - and some kind
of composer would be quite neat - which could save a song definition
file, and then export code to play the sound in various formats (NQC,
Robolab etc..). It would have to have at least a PC Playback option to
demo/test it during composition.

I personally dont have the time (for a couple of months) to develop
such a thing - but there are some people here who definately have the
skill for it.
