[PD] Pd on ARM devices

[Pierre Massat]

Thank you all for your encouraging replies.

@Scott : I 'm also wondering what the Pi is capable of dsp-wise.
@Charles : I don't know the power of the dark side, but I'm dying to learn
more about it!

I guess we'll continue this thread when one of us managed to get his hand
on a Pi.

Pierre.
