Then you might be interested by a PD patch made by
Miller Puckette
himself :
http://www.mail-archive.com/pd-announce@iem.at/msg00400.html
He uses a custom pickup/interface under Linux which he and his students
built. On the LAC in Cologne (was it 2008?) he demonstrated it together
with his PD patch.
Cheers,
Malte
