Hm, I have written a lot of signal processing stuff in Haskell (see
packages synthesizer-core, synthesizer-llvm etc.), but so far I did not
need to cope with all Maybes in a data structure at once. Does it happen
very often for you, that a value does not change? I only need a Maybe
for showing when a signal stops. But every signal processor maintains
its own Maybe (synthesizer-core:Synthesizer.Signal.State,
Synthesizer.Process.Causal).

Btw. there is also haskell-art at lurk.org mailing list for discussing
(audio) signal processing issues.
