[PD] Joystick/gamepad in Mac OS X?

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Yes, exactly, same inlet and outlet behavior.  Then a patch written on  
one platform will work on all platforms.  Actually, what would be  
really great is a MacOS X version of [linuxevent], then you can support  
any USB HID device.  But IIRC, this might be a little trickier with  
MacOS X.  It was really easy in Linux.
