[PD] [netsend] bug?

[Jack]

Hello,

Now, with Pd 0.46.7 you have [netsend -b].
It allows you to send a string in 'binary' mode (you don't need anymore
to use the FUDI protocol used by netsend before).

Then, something like :

[list add file.mp4(
|
[l2s] <- from zexy library (there is vanilla solution for this)
|
[list fromsymbol]
|
[list append 10]
|
[list prepend send]
|
[list trim]
|
[netsend -b]

should work.
