[PD] nusmuk-audio / mixer aesthetics..

[colet.patrice at free.fr]

 Hello, there are a lot of externals in this project, too much to work everywhere,
 also an abs would be interesting.

the abstration would contain all the gop stuff and audio routing of one track,
 and it's two arguments would be audio receiver/emitters variables for throw/catching signal

then the abs could be dynamicaly created for building a mixer, also dynamical routing could be done with receiver variable.
