Not replying to your question; since I do not know these parts of the
GIMP code, but you might have fun experimenting with an expriment by
Amir Hassan, soundfumble. where you can start out with images/photos
used as "glitch" audio, that gets filtered and manipulated live in
GIMP. You might have to use an older version of GIMP to make it work.
