Maybe yet another outlet could be added to [inlet~] to indicate that a signal is connected, so that 'magic numbers' don't have to be used? Isn't that one of the things being added to the API? If so it would be nice ifabstraction authors could have access to it too anyways.

Oh, I misunderstood the last mail.  I do think the panel can just be a slider+number box (or just a number box) plus a "mute" button that toggles mute on and off.  (That could be a graphical toggle instead of a bang if people find that more intuitive - I hadn't thought of that).

By the way, I'm coming around to your idea just to 'detect' when a second audio inlet is disconnected and switch the object into mono mode in that case - that's pretty smart :)

I use it all the time as well, but I'm not sure what you mean. You say you want the bang button instead of a toggle? You say you want me to keep the bang message into it to it changes the state of the toggle?

What I said is that I doubt people were using external controls via messages into the object to make me bother and keep the bang message.

what do you say?
