[PD-dev] [PD] libpd netreceive

[Thomas Grill]

Ok Peter, let's move this over to pd-dev. There is no specific libpd list,
is it?

I have now quickly looked into what the context of the socket polling is
like in Pd.
It is even done in the audio callback (via sys_pollgui) if this is enabled,
so it can't really have serious side effects. As far as i have seen libpd
also uses a callback based approach for audio, at least for iOS. Maybe
introducing a sys_microsleep(0,1) in the audio callback does the trick? I
will test that now.
That said, i'm totally unaware of the details of other implementations.

all the best,
gr~~~~
