Snd is available via:

  ftp://ccrma-ftp.stanford.edu/pub/Lisp/snd-5.tar.gz
  http://www-ccrma.stanford.edu/software/snd/
  http://sourceforge.net/projects/snd/

It makes extensive use of Guile as an extension language, and has a
"listener" (a sort of shell-like text entry widget to accept and
edit scheme code).  I haven't had time recently to keep up with
Gtk changes, so I'd recommend trying the Motif version; there are
prebuilt images for Linux, Sun, and Mac OSX at ccrma-ftp.
The GUI extensions are based on xm.c (X/Xt/Xm) or xg.c (glib/gdk/gtk) --
there are examples in the documentation, and very extensive
examples in the scheme code included in the Snd tarball.
I think you can see screen shots of the Motif extensions in:
