Re: [PD] adding outlets to [inlet~] (was How can a signal inlet of an object know if it's receiving a signal)

I assume that this is being set here.

static void *vinlet_newsig(t_symbol *s)

{

t_vinlet *x = (t_vinlet *)pd_new(vinlet_class);

x->x_canvas = canvas_getcurrent();

x->x_inlet = canvas_addinlet(x->x_canvas, &x->x_obj.ob_pd, &s_signal);

Am I right? So I ask, how can I make this external accept ANY kind of message, not just signals?

Yeah, I've been still trying around and now I'm pretty sure this is where you set the type, and I'm also now assuming there's no way to carry both signals and control data in the same input as it is. This seems to require changes to the core of Pd elsewhere, right? If so, this is where it gets way over my head and I give up.

But how much of a surgical procedure are we talking about?
