Although I am not very familiar with the inner workings of PD nor with
W32-programming, I think, this must be possible. I think so, because
on Linux, there already is a similar solution for PD with the JACK
interface. JACK is a sound architecture, where you can connect the
output of one programm with the input of another software.

Don't universities use Linux anymore? :)

t_tkcmd.c, and maybe s_inter.c, I think.
