Hello,
For sending audio efficiently over OSC I would need an OSC-"BLOB". Unfortunately the packOSC object supports no OSC-"BLOB"s. Is there any possibility to send BLOBs? ciao
I can probably add a Blob type to [packOSC] and [unpackOSC]. The thing is that the blob type is supposed to consist of arbitrary bytes (8-bits), but Pd audio works with 32-bit floats. There is nothing [unpackOSC] can do with a received blob except output the list of bytes, so some other object would be needed to pack groups of 4 bytes into floats again. It may end up being just as efficient to send a bunch of floats for each signal vector.
