If this is correct, why do I have to specify the size of mystruct_t
*twice*. Can't it be initialized by rt_pipe_alloc ?.

It's initialized actually (*).


So, what's the sense of having to specify it again whet calling
rt_pipe_send ?


Because you may (pre-)allocate more than you really need to send afterwards.
