sound and ipo

Is there a way now with 2.53 to link /convert sound curve to ipo so as to animate object channel?

I guess you’d need a python module that has the ability to get the “loudness” of an audio file at a particular point, then translate that into the IPO curves

edit:
well I’ve found one, problem is that it is python 2.2 :frowning: http://www.speech.kth.se/snack/

I was thinking that with the new ipo modifier something will act like that.
Thanks

There was an old script for 2.49 not sure if it has translated to 2.53 yet. Search though.
