> Cwiid demos (e.g. wmgui) exhibit the same limit of 2 streams which suggests it is indeed a problem with cwiid. To clarify my observation, while you do get "updates" on all three, one of them is frozen (does not change values but just outputs the same over and over).

Again, this is not the case with [wiimote]. I tested the following
setups:

* accelerometers, IR, motionplus
* accelerometers, IR, classic controller
 
All three sensors are updated frequently (I was wrong when I claimed it
got significantly slower; this was due to having the Pd GUI be shown in
a VNC session).

This doesn't work:

* accelerometers, motionplus, classic controller

It seems, you cannot use two extensions at the same time. It's either
motionplus or classic controller, but not both at the same time.

Note: This is with 0.6.00+svn201 (in Ubuntu 11.04), probably this
matters? AFAICT, [wiimote] from svn does _not_ use a local version of
cwiid.h.

Another note: I experience the same behaviour with wmgui: It only lets
me display two stream simultaneously and it lacks a section for
motionplus.
