That can be done, actually (using soft-ports. But as for many,
many other parts, this interface is due to be changed RSN, IIRC)
The problem is that a guile port does only provide the
information of a guile port. What i would need is to extract some
more information out of the port (at the C level. I don't like to
peek/poke at internal structures, there should be an official way)
E.g. i want to create a port out of BUFF *x. Then i want to use
that port. And lateron, i want to extract the same BUFF *x out of
the port.
