In the past the way I did this was in the host language simply call Pd 
with -nogui or without, depending on the user's requirements. Of course, 
it requires a restart of the Pd process which can be annoying depending 
on the requirements of your application.

The host language I was using was Python, which managed the Pd process. 
There is some code here:

I'll get this converted to a git repo if it's useful to somebody.

I think I built this ridiculous thing with it, but I don't remember:

Oh wait, no, that was nodejs and somebody else built a nodejs module for 
doing the same as PyPd above but in nodejs.

Cheers,

Chris.
