Yes, I'm sure thats should be possible. A quick hack I think might 
work is:
1. Create a vct in snd
2. Protect it from being garbage collected. (scm_gc_protect or something)
3. Free the float* data, and put in a pointer to the pd-buffer instead.

I'm going to look closer at this after my exams. :-)
