X,
I'm not actually interested in getting the audio from kismet to Pd, but the data, and then parsing it in Pd to perform whatever functions. So the whole festival/play thing isn't really an issue...
I think what I should have said is that I want to write a kismet client in Pd.
At the moment there's no space to install py, but maybe I'll just have to buy an SD card and put py there to figure this all out. I'd like to eliminate as many middle steps as possible.

I got kismet working too and plan on interfacing kismet and Pd. Anybody have any suggestions on how to do this?
well the easiest way is to change the festival/play paths to something else and write your own scripts to interface with those. This is rather easy for festival but a bit more of a hassle for play since kismet loads the wave files itself and only pipes the pcm data to play - what I did was making dummy waves that contain only numbers that are easily parsed by a pseudo play script that will then pdsend an appropriate command to pd. That's a bit ugly so I might patch kismet to call play or whatever with an argument when I find time. I can send you the scripts if you like and of course I'll put the ipkg online (and a few more) when it's done.
