Quoting Hans-Christoph Steiner hans@eds.org:
i think the [r pd][route dsp] approach is a kludge...
Maybe this:
[dsp( | [s pd]
[r pd] | [route dsp]
exactly this is the kind of "kludge" i am talking about. i hope that "kludge" means something really bad and ugly, as this is how i use this word here.
You mean it's a kludge if there isn't a special object for this? I think conceptually, it is like sending to the pd "object" itself. I mean that if you send [; pd dsp( then you'll get a reply with the current state. The only problem there is that [; pd dsp( could be interpreted as [;pd dsp 0( if there is no different between lack of an argument and an argument initialized to 0.

Terrorism is not an enemy. It cannot be defeated. It's a tactic. It's about as sensible to say we declare war on night attacks and expect we're going to win that war. We're not going to win the war on terrorism. - retired U.S. Army general, William Odom
