my point was, that there is a reason for specialized objects, even if
they are written in an obscure compiled language like C.
i wouldn't want to do anything requiring low latencies (like audio) with
PdOS.

[binfile] has many uses, and i'm very glad that it is there.
e.g. the [srtfile] object i mentioned in the other thread ("[text3d] &
video subtitling in Pd") is really a Pd-patch around [binfile].
there is still little merit in implementing [mp3write~] as patch,
besides pedagogy and ego-boosty.
