I suppose it means that the code that uses openMP must not use Pd, and the 
code that uses Pd must not use openMP. Between the two, you need to 
channel multithreaded communications into singlethreaded communications so 
that they can fit with Pd. If you can't use (or don't want to use) Pd's 
sys_lock() for whatever reason, you will need some kind of intermediate 
buffer so that your Pd objects can pick up the data coming from openMP.

I don't know any openMP though.
