This also is possible, however if your desire is syncing audio and
video rather tightly, large audio buffers won't cut it: Because there
is no (easy) way to delay the visuals, things will be out of sync.
I've been there. ;( For my latest Gem/audio works I run two Pds again,
one for all audio generation, sequencing and the physics, the other
only does Gem: It gets netsent the coordinates of geoms to render.

I don't do this yet in my older set as performed in Montreal, but the
"faltig" patch runs with a risky low audio buffer, which sometimes
gives dropouts. I just keep my fingers crossed all the time. ;) 

Ciao
