I've "always" used 4-character indents, no tabs (except for makefile.in :) Various contributed code deviates from that, and when I have to actually look at it I feel at liberty to thrash it into the pd "standard". There are some bits I'm afraid to touch, such as the ALSA MIDI code, since I don't have any setup on which to test it.
A bit OT, but if you're using vi, a quick and painless way to reformat between all-tabs or all-spaces is the following:
:0,$s/ /\t/g <- converts 4 spaces to a tab :0,$s/\t/ /g <- converts a tab to 4 spaces
In C code that won't break anything. You could also use the 'rpl' command, or one of those fancy indent re-formatting programs. I am using this all the time now as I belong to the religion of tabs, but the other heathen at RjDj are spaces people. Of course, tabs are the One True Way, and shall reign supreme at the return of the Tab King. You'll see.
