well, fur sure the pd gui is not useable to draw schematics. thats why i said 
that for the first step it would be fine, if such an object just takes the 
netlist as an argument, loads it from disk then and runds it.
later it would be a nice addition if it is possible to draw the schematics in 
pd as well. that could be done either by modifying the current editor, or by 
integrating some other editor into the object that opens up by 
double-clicking on the spice object ....

as foe the sample rate, iirc spice is running in "ticks" as well, which can be 
defined in their size. after all its also possible to emulate hf circuits and 
get a output of a 10 mhz sine wave, for example. so it shouldnt be that big 
problem to have it run at audio rate, i think ....

alright ;)
