GEM already has two objects for turning audio into video and back again - pix_sig2pix and pix_pix2sig.  How is this proposal different from what those objects do already?  Would changing the block~ object and using the pix_ objects implement the system as proposed?

To Pd developers,

After years of worrying about it, I'm thinking it's time to add video
support natively to Pd.  My basic idea is to add a feature to the block~
object so that windows of DSP computation can be triggered from external
messages.  That way, video I/O objects could be designed to spit out
frames or portions of frames on demand, and the user gets the ability to
explicitly schedule how the video computations should be run.
