Yeah, I'm definitely learning this.  I do enjoy the creative limitations
actually, it's just that things ran "so much better" a year ago with
Ubuntu Hardy + Pd-extended 0.39 ... Perhaps I'm at the point where I
just need to reimplement what I have now in C/C++ using rt audio, etc
but that would take time of course.  I originally started using pd just
to prototype anyway ...
