Thanks for the suggestion. That's actually where I came from. I used to control MPlayer from Pd and I was really glad that I could do it all purely within a Pd patch when [readanysf~] came along. Things were much more cumbersome back then. Nowadays, with [command] this would work a tad bit neater. It's definitely a fall-back option. However, I'd like to avoid it due to the increased complexity and the different software involved. I still want to process audio in Pd, so I have to make sure to route vlc/mpv audio output to Pd through JACK, which requires to give each JACK client (mpv/vlc and Pd) a unique name so that persistent routing works (consider having many such setups in parallel). Also, I'd like to avoid JACK all together so that a Pd hiccup does not cause an audible drop-out. My radios run Pd with '-nosound -nomidi -nogui' and thus the only buffering is happening in [mp3cast~]. Which again means there are practically no drop-outs at all. The patch can even do tasks like rendering text-to-speech voice with [flite~] without any side-effects.
