I have been working with numerous audio descriptors (zsa, ircam, ...) - but always in realtime. 

What I would like to do is to analyze different samples or sections of samples - so basically a buffer. But not playing the content and then analyzing it in realtime - but as an offline procedure - and through this then as a bulk process.

I guess there is MUBU, correct? Are there any other ways? Also perhaps in JS or via Node or via Jitter?

Mubu also seems to crash very often for me...

You can do always do any MSP processing in nonrealtime choosing the "NonRealTime" driver option in Audio Setup.

In this mode, the computer processes the samples as fast as it can

Nice, I was wondering something similar. Seems like MuBu is the way to go within Max.

I've been using EAnalysis. But is not so straight forward and it's kind of outdated. I think most people use python / matlab for visualizations, specially if you don't need realtime/playback.

Also I'm following up for a more qualified response. Cheers!

"NonRealTime" driver is a good idea. Ideally I would like to be able to switch between analysis and other processes without having to stop the audio driver.

You could use the "adstatus" object and automate the following procedure:

3- switch the driver back to the main driver (CoreAudio, ASIO, etc.)
