It would only be a half solution since I expect from that kind of
scale that the x axis be also scaled logarithmically, with exponential
graduations in order to finally render regular intervals (e.g. for a
sound bandwith: 20, 200, 2000, 20000 Hz).

Yes indeed... hadn't even realized that SVG is not a way to render but
a way to express information. BTW a quick googling shew me that there
apparently exist some SVG to OpenGL libs.
