[CM] [ANN] Re: SND as a pd-external.

[Kjetil S. Matheussen]

This mail is to inform that SND as a PD external now has support
for sound processing as well as data processing, and that various
bugs and stuff has been fixed since the last announcement.

Check out help-snd.pd for a data processing example, and help-snd-fm.pd 
for a sound processing example.
