[PD] pd~ to sync audio/video

[Max]

hi list,

i am trying out if the pd~ object is an alternative for sync playback  
of audio and video to the “traditional” method of using two instances  
of pd talking to each other by netserver/netclient.

so the situation is that we need one pd instance with audio on and one  
without for gem.
because audio needs to run without dropouts in the first process,  
while gem will run in the second process.

to run the video in the parent process and the audio in the subprocess  
with pd~ doesn't work, because the main process needs audio on. (see  
pd~ helppatch the last lines)

to run the audio in the parent process and the video in the subprocess  
using pd~ -noutsig 0 -ninsig 0 doesn't work because pd freezes when  
using these parameters on pd~

when using pd~-noutsig 0 it does work, but only if the subprocess will  
switch its dsp computing on for a moment it can be switched of  
afterwards.

is it a good idea at all to use pd~ for that purpose or should i stick  
to the netserver/netclient solution?
