[chuck-dev] ChucK plugin for PD

Is there any plan to allow ChucK to have its audio generation turned off?

Also, can you give an example of how this would work with PD? Is this
just going to be a single object with a script attached? How will this
be able to interact with PD objects?

Thanks,

Mike
