Thanks for the advice. I am not sure I understand how to get the callback functions for pd to interface with the cocoa API, but I'll give a crack at it later tonight and see how far I get (first time doing anything in obj-c). For me, I don't really care about elegance as much as that it will do everything that I want it to do (and fast).
