Sure...
The thing would live as both a regular paper book and as hypertext. It would have a theoretical and practical guide to audio DSP with the Pd reference patches as examples, but with more diagrams showing, for instance, how to calculate desirable sizes of lookup tables.
In book form, all the patches would show up as figures with captions. In the hypertext version, they'd still look like figures but you'd be able to turn them on and hear what they do...

I've been wondering for years how I could make some sort of hypertext document that could have links to actual Pd patches. If anyone has a cool idea about this I'd love to hear it. For example, if there were some sort of very simple HTML browsing library that worked cross-platform???
Could you give an example of how you would envision this working? (Don't worry at first about practicality, just what the user would do, see, and hear in using the link.)
