Of course if you prefer to use C and just want to use Pd as a kind of library to make things like accessing soundcards or midi ports easier, just go on with it, this is a perfectly fine use of Pd.
I urge to say that i agree with this. Just to clarify. My initial
response wrt. this was only to let you (Atte) know of the (existing)
point of view regarding 'externals versus abstractions' as a follow
up to the question "did I reinvent the wheel?". I did that since you
said you were new to Pd, hence i assumed you didn't know of it
already. I didn't do it to imply a position in any direction.
