Don't know if you need to do it in your own external. If you do the
message parsing in Pd (as opposed to a dedicated external), check
attached patch. It converts between floats and 4-byte-lists. Probably
not efficient, when converting tons of numbers, but easy if you're
looking for a quick'n'dirty solution.
