shouldn't be too much of a hazzle, so (i guess) i volunteer..

i'd rather have "pdp" somewhere in the name, as [gem.set] and [gem.get] 
could be anything (not necessarily related to pure data packets)

for me the most simple names i can think of right now are
[gem_pdp] : gem->pdp (or probably [gem_3dp] ?)
[pdp_gem] : pdp->gem

so what exactly should these do (aka: what do you want me to make them do) ?

how would a patch look like ?

<snip>
[gemhead]
|
[gem.get]
|
[pdp_noise]
|
[gem.set]
|
[pix_texture]
|
[square]
</snip>

and the pdp packet would just hold (additionally) the data of the 
gem_list (?)

and i guess, that [gem.get] should *not* output the gem_list anymore ?


sorry for being not into pdp-code ;-)
