[PD] libpd for Unity still alive?

[Joe White]

Hey Ali,

The AudioListener AFAIK is the component that makes sure the OAFR callback
is scheduled for any AudioSources on your gameobject. These stack up though
like a filter chain, so if your last audio source component has no audio
input then it'll overwrite the previous elements in the filter chain.

One solution might be to put a pass-through system in your patch. Otherwise
maybe try adding them to separate children and let Unity mix them.

Cheers,
Joe
