Quoting Michael Wagner <mw@xxxxxxxxx>: Thanks a lot for your responses and the input you all provided! So, it seems, that the choice of the language to use is more a matter of taste and there seem to be no real drawbacks between them.

Just one more question: How does it look with Jack support in Pd? IIRC I found some old posts on mailinglist-archives about patches, but I didn't actually find one... -Michael
