There are several way I'm exploring. Nothing is stable yet. But what one 
can do is assign a kind of timeline to each sonding object. The animation 
clock is perfect for that. Maybe add an extreme clock divider to get a 
better granularity within the 1/30 second of a frame. 
Then use that for writing events to a file. These can be midi notes, or 
midi evelopes, or OSC data, or just values in a range to be interpreted 
later.
For a bouncing ball you could start an event at the moment of contact. 
Then create an envelope depending on how much a ball is squished before it 
bounces back. Use such data to modulate a sound source.

The fun thing is that POV-Ray has all these nice functions that 
synthesisers have not. Things that are available hare have to written in 
SuperCollider or Csound. Also I think many of the DSP stuff can be done in 
POV-Ray, but it is slow.

Next up, wave teraain synthesis. I think tomorrow.
