[PD-dev] sms pd external - design choices

[Rich E]

I do not see how I could have more than one buffer at the same time if it
were declared statically.  The data has to be 'findable', so I need some way
to name it.  pd_findbyclass() seems to be the right tool for this, though I
am still trying to figure out how to create the t_class that will have the
sms data.

I think, after looking into the various possibilities, outputting a pointer
to the data would just be confusing and might not work when sent through
pd's messaging system.  It appears that keeping the buffer by a symbol name
would be cleaner.

How do you manage to keep multiple pool's then?
