Great to know it works there too :)

Ah, thanks for noticing! This will be fixed in the next release.

I sent the announcement to pd-announce too, with this about the external:

This release features several changes and includes a Puredata external,
containing 5 objects:

  * aubiopitch~  pitch tracking object, similar to fiddle~ and pick~
  * aubioonset~  onset detection, similar to bonk~
  * aubiotempo~  beat tracking
  * aubiotss~    transient / steady state separation (experimental)
  * aubioquiet~  simple silence detector

Not all aubio features are available from PD yet, but onset and pitch
detection routines should be more robust than other existing externals.

Bye, Paul
