you can mix C-code and ObjC-code just fine in your .m file (that is: you
can use C in ObjC; you cannot use ObjC in your C)

so basically you write everything in ObjC, but the callback-functions
for Pd (which are written in C)
i guess there are more elegant ways to do it, but this is how i would do it.
