- mpeg-support:
well, it would be sufficient "just" to have the sfread obj. support mp3 format and i think for decoding there's various libraries available, so
The problem is, either the decoders are not free, or they perform really badly. I still have to put some work into optimizing. I havenŽt released the sfread external yet (It definitely won't work on NT). If someone wantŽs to give it a try, it's at ftp://gige.epy.co.at/pub/gige/sound/pd/externs

sounds really cool ... but probably too specific ....
- pd in daemon mode.
guenther, you mentioned that idea to me a while ago .. and i still think it would be absolutely great to be able to run pd without graphical interface. my hinter-thoughts in this are that i ve got a bunch of machines available on our network, some of them without video and/or soundcards. so if i load a patch on these running in background and sending their output signal onto the net rather than /dev/dsp it would offer great possibilites and almost endless processing resources ...
Well, thatŽs already possible (at least with the unix version that uses X Windows). Just set the DISPLAY variable to the system where your display is and start the pdŽs from the different machines. If you donŽt want the GUI, just hide it.

just post their private sutff and get their urls on the list ... so if there will be a central site, it should only contain sort of tested and approved extensions and macros etc ... but anyway, somebody would have to take care of it ..
You are right. I started to make a new "pd homepage", but IŽm rather unexperienced with HTML. So if you like to help me, you are welcome.
