hi.

i am looking for a simple and efficient way to record a Pd-session and 
replay it later.
at this early stage i am only interested in replaying the gui part, so 
basically i want to create a screencast, but without recording a movie.

the idea is, to just capture the network traffic between pd and pd-gui 
and later feed the traffic pd->gui traffic into a standalone pd-gui.


i am currently experimenting a bit with pcap files (since packet 
sniffers do not require any intervention on the Pd side), but of course 
the result is quite verbose and i am not really interested in the tcp/ip 
handshake between pd and pd-gui.
all the available pcap replay tools i found (e.g. tcpreplay) are really 
tools for testing network infrastructure rather than replaying 
client/server communication.

my self written tools suffer from big timing issues...


any hints?
