...still working on the snd external. I have had dsp processing up and running for some days now, but I spend a lot of time trying to make inlets and outlets both work for signals and data (without succeeding). So now I just use twice the amount of inlets and outlets than what is necessary.

Aren't there any way to make an inlet/outlet (except for the first inlet) be able to handle both data and signals?

i suppose you can do that by using proxy inlets (like flext or cyclone)

cheers ... tim
