You mean it's a kludge if there isn't a special object for this?
The real problem is that it's global: I may not want all my [r pd] receivers to get activated every time something somewhere queries the state of DSP.
yep. a dedicated object does not have this problems.
Hmm, for DSP state, that's global, so using a global receive symbol makes sense, IMHO. For other things, perhaps you could use the patch receive name, is [receive pd-mypatch.pd].
Also, you could make an explicitly local dsp state query with a little [spigot] magic, just filtering the message. However, it would also trigger a message from every global state reciever that is not filtered out.
