So it turns out that with the newer stable pd (0.41-4) [midiout] works. So I've changed my external into a very simple abstraction. I'm providing it here as an attachment with a help file that shows a simple syncing solution.
Note: it does not work with pd 0.40-2 and alsa, I'm figuring it wouldn't work with pd-extended and alsa... but maybe Hans has rolled back the [midiout] fixes into the current extended? I haven't tested with any of the other midi apis.
Basically this patch allows you to sync an external midi device with a metro so you can have pd do things in sync with an external drum machine, synthesizer, whatever.. that accepts sync in.
Enjoy!

I'm running the latest stable (0.41-4) and [midiout] is working, at least for sending mid clock/start/stop/continue messages. I'm running linux and use alsa for midi with pd.

For Linux, midiout only works in the latest TEST version of PD from Miller.
