ok, here's a (maybe stupid) idea, currently, this object I designed gives you a channel number of "1" if nothing is connected to an inlet~, not sure if possible but maybe "sp[0]->s_nchans" could give us "0" if nothing is connected to an inlet~, so this object could be used to also detect inlet~ connection...
