I don't really know what Max4Live is, but I can say you've been able to send/ receive audio to/from Pd using Jack for years. I believe that the Pd jack implementation supports at least 64 jack connections, so if you use another Jack-enabled app, you can have up to 64 audio connections between them. People do this together with Ardour and soft synths, I saw a very nice demo of this in 2007 by Lluis Carbonell.
The nice part of Max4Live is the GUI integration. You could do that with Pd the way Sven Koenig does: he tiles his windows so Ableton is on the top half of the screen, and Pd is on the bottom half.

Is it possible to integrate Pd with Ableton Live in a way similar to Max4Live, as a Live/Pd user (newbie really) this will be a very important issue in my work. As far as i know, Max4live includes many instruments that can be opened up in a Max canvas (similar to Pd) environment for editing, as well as allowing additional access to the inner workings of Live, http://www.ableton.com/maxforlive. I just wanted to verify if there is (or going to be) any movement to allow for such integration. i am already aware of Jack for sending audio directly from pd to live and vice versa(not sure about midi capabilities), but i'm refering to truly open possibilities that this type of integration will allow.
Thanks,
Jeff
