[IDEA] Audio controlled windows

[a1Pha]

Hey guys,
today, when I was listening to my Speedcore-audio-collection and moving around the mouse, I had an idea for c-f.
You could make a plugin, which lets the windows on the desktop jump around to the bass / beat of a audio track. I know, this is senseless, but it would be really cool (and fire and water - plugins are senseless, too ;)) - a lot of people in the IRC, where I mentioned my idea, would really love such a plugin :)
I would be happy if you could tell me something like "yea! that's it! omg! we have to code it!" ;)
Yours,
a1Pha

p.s.: please excuse my bad English :)

This could be done with dbus, maybe. If there's already an application that detects/analyzes audio, then it could be added a script to send some messages to fusion to do what you describe, like sending a 'shiver' message on each beat.
I think this would be best as a plugin for audio apps, like visualization plugins, not as part of compiz itself

another way could be: a small, embedded mp3-player in compiz as a plugin. i thought about your way, too, but it would be very bad for the performance, if you would use dbus for each beat (think about tracks with about 500BPM ;)).
