this is more tricky.
what you are really asking for is a way to detect whether an inlet is
connected. i don't know of any way.
control signals can be "0" too...
of course you could do something like
[inlet~]
|
+--+
| [==~] [default_signal~]
| | |
| [*~ ]
| |
[+~]
|
but that is most likely not what you want.
there is also a [sigzero~] object in zexy which gives you information on
whether the entire signal block is "0" (you could do this with [env~]
too...)
but basically i would suggest to not do something like that at all.
