Just keep in mind: libpd can only _run_ pd patches, you cannot
create/modify patches. Iff this is all you need than libpd might
be a valid replacement for Pd proper. Another obstacle to consider:
libpd doesn't provide any build-in way to handle audio data. You need
to write code to send/receive audio/midi data to your framework-of-choice.
On Linux that means writing quite some jack code (and, since libpd's
model of operation is push/pull, that code isn't really trivial).
That's where the example code is astonishing terse :-) :

 ----[file: cppTest$/src/main.cpp]------------------------------------

       // fill inbuf here
       pd.processFloat(1, inbuf, outbuf);
       // use outbuf here

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Frankly, I'd rather write my GUI in Qt (or whatever) and communicate whith
a headless pd process by means of OSC or even "raw" pd messages.
