The way I work when testing is to think about having everything
running smoothly so when I'm inspired, Pd-extended has as smooth a
workflow as possible. Then when I working on projects using Pd, I
don't hit these annoying issues.
As for your abstraction, could you post it here so I can test with
it? Its hard to know what's going on just by a description.
