Does anyone else on this list also Rick Taube's Common Music?

Have you thought, like I have, that it would be usefull to have PD be able to send messages for evaluation in CM, and have the results somehow returned to PD?

Any ideas on the best way to do this? I can think of several ways of doing it, each of which is probably over my ability and patience to implement. But maybe there is an easy way to do this that I haven't thought of.

With my limited knowledge in both Lisp and network programming, the most obvious approach to me is to use the netsend and netreceive PD objects to communicate with a Lisp listener that is bound to a socket. I see, at least in Allegro, there are socket-stream CLOS objects implemented.

Any comments, suggestions, etc, including what the @#$# is Common Music, or why the @#%#@ do I want to do that, etc, are appreciated.
