Yeah, I've been still trying around and now I'm pretty sure this is where
you set the type, and I'm also now assuming there's no way to carry both
signals and control data in the same input as it is. This seems to require
changes to the core of Pd elsewhere, right? If so, this is where it gets
way over my head and I give up.

But how much of a surgical procedure are we talking about?
