Should be a piece of cake.  You could set up some Pd data structures

to reflect the states of various things, or just use the GUI built-in

toggles and bangs and such.

I've been using Pd with the [csoundapi~] object a great deal lately,

and it's the best combination I've found.  Alas, I don't use it for

live stuff, and I'm afraid Csound often makes Pd crash with no

warning.  I think if the Csound patch isn't altered after it is found

to be stable it should be okay, but I change mine often, and so save

my work often.
If you just want Pd for visual feedback, why not control chuck

directly, and perhaps use OSC to control Pd from chuck.  Could be iffy

to make the audio dependent on the GUI app, and anyway then if Pd

encounters problems (to put it nicely) the sound won't crash.
