Perhaps I'm misunderstanding something here, but each time you
call io.get(...) it should return the latest value delivered to the chuck~
inlet. You might want to consider making a shred with a test loop
to get a more real-time behavior.

while (100::ms => now) {
  io.get("abc) = s.freq;
}

(I haven't tried this though! Something similar might work)

It would be great if instead of a Pd ugen, it was more of an
event interface like HidIn, which would allow one to use the
ChucK syntax a bit more naturally.

Does this clear anything up or am I missing the point entirely?
