Package csound updated to version 0.1-1 with previous version 0.1-0 dated 2011-12-19

Title: Accessing Csound functionality through R
Description: Provides basic access in an R session to Csound , a powerful free and open-source software sound synthesizer. The package functionality is largely geared towards supporting the needs of the playitbyr package for sonification and is not particularly mature on its own. But it certainly can be used without knowing anything about playitbyr.
