Which seems to be the case.

Sorry for the noise. Actually the second number _does_ reflect the size
of the current buffer. I was surprised to see this message appearing in
0 logical time after sending something, but then it seems logical, that
the queue is <number-of-bytes> just right after having sent
<number-of-bytes>. A quick test sending some messages to another box,
then pulling the ethernet plug off from that other box revealed, that
the second number of the 'sent' message indeed is rising when sending
some more messages. 

I actually should be quiet, because I haven't performed any further
testing, but this really excites me, since it finally allows to create
patches that use the network _without_ interrupting audio. 

That's a few small lines of code for a man, one giant leap for Pd
community.
