I did click the link.  It took me only to the index of all documents for 
the current audio API:

<http://developer.apple.com/referencelibrary/MusicAudio/>

If you have a URL to a current implementation of this technology it 
would save some hunting.

If a current API for this is supported it would be an interesting read, 
but it's less important to me than the other technologies I'm 
researching so forgive me if I don't do the hunt myself.

Sorry if I ruffled feathers; not my intention.  On the contrary, I 
agreed it was a way cool technology and offered an example of having 
seen it in action confirming its rather mind-blowing coolness.

If you had meant to provide a URL to a supported technology I can 
certainly understand a simple mistake, but if it's not supported it's of 
little long-term value.

And even if it were, as you noted this stuff isn't simple:  Apple can 
provide an API for it, but what would a multi-platform tool like Rev do 
for Windows and Linux?  I agree that it would be attractive, but I also 
agree it would be expensive.
