[L2Ork-dev] Non-signal *left* inlet visualization of a dsp object

[Albert Graef]

Well, just to clarify, it's clear now that Pd-l2ork doesn't do anything
wrong in this specific example, in fact it let me *discover* this bug
(never would have noticed in vanilla, since all xlets look the same there).
And it's surely a bug in *my* code (must have goofed somewhere in pd-pure's
inlet configuration code).
