That sounds like a plan :-)

Is the clear-message a special message and what the idea behind it 
(pointers to the appropiate place in the doc is fine, don't wast 
bandwidth on a newbie)? I looked at poly-help.pd and it makes sense. 
Where can I see a simple example with oscillators and all?

I must admit I'm totally confused about polyphony in pd. Actually I'm 
confused to the point where I believed csound to be superiour in exactly 
this area [for the non-csounder: csound has dynamic voice allocation 
out-of-the-box, meaning it's the default to be able to play as many note 
as the cpu can bear, but only active voices are using cpu].

Where should I look to learn about polyphony handling in pd? Maybe you 
could even give me a quick overview of the broad perspective?
