[microsound] Chopping up nonrhythmic music

[Batuhan Bozkurt]

Hi David,

You might want to check out meapsoft. I don't really remember if it  
can actually extract the slices and write each to different files, but  
at the very least, it gives you exact sample locations of onsets in a  
file which you can parse and hack up a code to do the splitting if you  
can code.
