I once made an external which does the same thing (https://git.iem.at/ressi/batchrecord) and it's cool that the same thing is now possible in the core!
My use case was that I had a patch which either produced some generative music or processed some soundfile and I wanted to record N seconds as fast as possible. It's basically like the render function in a DAW (usually you don't have to start the DAW from the command line to render your project :-).
But I agree that this needs to documented. Generally, there should be a section to document all (public) Pd messages, like [pd dsp(, [pd quit(, etc. (What can be considered "public"?)
Also [r pd-dsp-started] and [r pd-dsp-stopped], which most people don't know about, I guess.

An artificial example (for simplicity) - I want to apply a Pd effect to a soundfile and write the result out to another file, without having to wait for the length of the file to get the result. This could be done from the command line using a batch command, but while you're developing the patch to do it it's much easier to be able to set the process off with a button from inside Pd.

Awesome.
I wonder if anyone could work on an example about this new message to Pd so I can see if I get it. Also, this should be documented somewhere, right?

To Pd-announce:
Pd version 0.51-1 is available on http://msp.ucsd.edu/software.htm or (source only) via github: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data__;!!Mih3w... .
This contains bug fixes, notably fixing problems running on Macintoshes after dark or on system 11.
[OT] another announcement, but nothing to do with Pd: a new book that Kerry Hagan and I edited about electornic music pioneers, "Between the Tracks", comes out Sept. 1 from MIT Press.
