Hi Guenter -

Sure, no problem. An email I wrote to the pd-dev list yesterday bounced,
since I am not on the list yet - but if you can forward it, that would
be great.

The external can scan for given input devices in linux and spit out the
device file descriptor (i.e. /dev/input/event5) so that a particular
device can be automatically connected to a patch when it's plugged in,
or when the patch is started - rather than having to hard-code the
descriptor - so it allows for a kind of "plug-and-play" for input
devices. I've been using it with hans-christoph's linuxjoystick in order
to avoid hard-coding the file descriptor, meaning that patch can always
start up and be "live" regardless of what order devices were plugged in,
etc.

thanks,
-David
