Have a look at maxlib at 
http://www.akustische-kunst.org/puredata/maxlib/ . The example is from 
"multi"

for(i = 2; i < argc; i++)	/* create additional inlets, if any */	{
	floatinlet_new(&x->x_ob, &x->x_multivalue[i]);
}

This creates at least 2 inputs using the number of arguments to create 
inputs. You could easily change this to be the value (argv) instead.

By the way, have you considered the user position and orientation in 
your engine or do you modify the sound coordinates before they are fed 
to the convolver?
