The latest csound comes with opcodes for image manipulation and display (including pixel by pixel access, but iirc not opengl?). Anyway I think that may qualify it as an audio/video synthesis environment (it is at least possible now, though I don't know how well it works). I have this back burner vaporware idea of a scripting library that would provide unified ways to synthesize ardour and cinelerra save files (both of which are xml), in order to do experimental audio/visual collage, manipulation, and limited synthesis (using plugins, of course).
