hello,

...yes: what would be handy to have is a realtime interface where i can
patch connection between objects (i think creating objects in a text
environment may not be too complicated...)
...and have some meters and slides (like alsamixer)

but I think it will be also ok to develop the patch on a fast machine,
send it over to the XBOX or whatever low-performance host
start pd with no-gui and have an external interface (which i will have
to write first, probably) which communicates with PD in some way (pd
send , OSC) 
maybe i can rip code from alsamixer and make it send out values via
pdsend...

or is it possible to have the pd-server running on one machine (without
gui) and control it from antoher with the pd GUI?


thanks
