Strange I don't get that using Pd 0.40.3-extended-20080308, just using the packOSC-help and routeOSC-help patches. I think maybe different versions of pd differ in their use of the 'list' selector.
That would be a desaster.
I checked pipelist.c, and it doesn't have a method for "anythings", so it cannot handle meta-mnessages.
True, but [pipelist] has a list method and [routeOSC] outputs lists,
The help-patch for routeOSC has a [unpackOSC] before the [pipelist], and [unpackOSC] sends meta-messages without "list" selector. There is some commented code which uses "outlet_list", though, but active is "outlet_anything".
But anyway routeOSC also outputs meta-messages unless you have messages starting with a number (which are autoconverted to lists by Pd). At least in attached example my version of routeOSC (current svn-trunk) routes to the the left outlet of [route a]. list-messages would go to the right outlet, as the example on the right shows.
Aaargh... I was looking at an older version of [unpackOSC], before it was modified (zmoelnig's patch 1959417). I guess the best solution is to make [pipelist] accept lists without the list selector (aka meta-messages) then. I think it would be even better if [pipe] would pipe lists and meta-messages too, so there would be no need for a separate [pipelist].
I'm getting the feeling that list is becoming deprecated in favour of meta-messages, since the 'list' selector is redundant. Is that right?
