Actually I have the same file as well, but it doesn't show any
spot-light, even if you exchange the inlet order. 

*However*: I now have a working patch, it's attached and was extended
to also incorporate the attenuation/cutoff/decay messages. It works
with current Gem-CVS, only the debug-cone is slightly wrong of course.
It would be nice, if that cone would also display the cutoff-angle
btw.

[spot_light] allows for some really nice effects btw, for example if
you crank up the colors to "out of range" values like [2 3 0(, then it
gives a surreal feel.

Ciao
