Yeah, this is really great news. I just tried it out and it worked right away.
A few bugs are popping out, though. So à propos "making it better" - where would be the place for bug reports or improvement proposals? There's currently this forum, the new mailing list, the sourceforge pd project (where the code seems to be hosted), and the pd forums and mailing lists... :-/
In any case, thanks a lot for your efforts!!
