no you can't.
or: you can (because a submodule is just another local repository), but 
you cannot push (unless you have write access to the upstream 
repository, e.g. https://github.com/PortAudio/portaudio)

then you can obviously use the forked repo to push to.



my point was that you cannot patch the code in the submodule and carry 
the changeset in the parent repository (that is: in the pure-data 
repository)

as antoine has written, you can do that with "git subtree" (which i do 
suggest in the pd-lib-builder docs), but there you include the full 
release history of the vendored project.
