The athenaCL system is an open-source, object-oriented composition tool written in Python. The system can be scripted and embedded, and includes integrated instrument libraries, post-tonal and microtonal pitch modeling tools, multiple-format graphical outputs, and musical output in Csound, MIDI, audio file, XML, and text formats.
Musical parts are deployed as Textures, layered surface-defining objects containing numerous independent ParameterObjects to control pitch, tempo, rhythm, amplitude, panning, and instrument (Csound) parameters.
I've been reading thru some coding examples, I asume we can use pthread?
Can the sound processor play more than one wav at a time?

No, rather not as it's an AC97 codec. However the gp2x has enough processing power to do decent mixing in software.
i've been working on some music apps for the gp2x (midishare) and definitely intend to get a tracker/drum-machine style app up and running in the near future.
littleGPtracker is running on the GP32, and would be a very nice item to port .. probably relatively quickly too, from what little i know of the source so far .. so maybe there will indeed be some very fast ports/apps up on the GP2X for music-making soon.

I use SDL for the display of the windows version so basically all I need to get the basic stuff working is access to the sound device which, apparently, is going to be pretty easy. I'd say in a month or so it should be available.

A month ! Great, that's fast (---tracker).
I read a bit of the Pdf found on the WIKI talking about the soundchip of the Gp2x.
It looks like a simple audio chip offering nice possibilities !
A month...
