How to write a media density like

              density{
                 spherical
                     color_map{
                             [0.22 rgb 0]
                             [0.32 rgb 1]
                             [1.0 rgb 1]
                              }
                    scale 2.5
                    warp{turbulence .8 omega .7}
                    scale 1/2.5
                    }
               }
              }

Turn the pigment part of your density to a function. 

Use nested loops to sample the function in the resolution you want. 

Put the resulting data into one or more arrays. 

Use a macro to write these arrys in the proper way to a file. There is 
such a macro in the distribution, in arrays.inc : ARRAYS_WriteDF3(Array, 
FileName, BitDepth). I've not used it yet but it will dictate hoe to set 
up your data array before writing
