I like "message", I think that is pretty widely used.  "dataflow", "data", 
and "numeric" are all not correct, so should be avoided IMHO.  audio and 
message objects can have data, numeric data, and all are part of the 
dataflow.

I think in the Pd manual, it's called "run" mode, but that doesn't make 
sense since Pd is always running.  I like "play" mode.
