Have you ever thought of getting a job in research institute such as
the IRCAM (in France, see http://www.ircam.fr/) ? Some of the software
they release is under GPL.

Otherwise, see on www.cosource.com, or www.sourcexchange.com, I'd be
glad to sponsorize you in such a project with my modest means :-)
