thanks, that's very useful...
i changed it to udp version using netcat - useful when using a remote 
machine without pd or for saving some tcp overhead on local use. 
unfortunately it doesn't support disconnects (port number of pd changes 
on reconnect). Using netcat with tcp should be possible as well, using 
Chris's version and netcat instead of pdreceive / pdsend.
