Is it possible to force CNMAT odot objects to send 32bit floats instead of 64bit?

Hello,
I am trying to send OSC message to Reaper. I have already done this in the past using only factory objects and udpsend. Now, using CNMAT's o.prepend to add tags and printit to check the data type, it seems that I have 64bit float arguments in my OSC messages.
In Reaper, the OSC Listen... window displays the tags correctly as well as a [d] after them but reports an "unknown argument type" afterwards. For instance: /track1/polar_distance [d] d:(unknown argument type). Obviously [d] stands for double and indeed if I discard o.prepend, I can see in Reaper that my arguments are now plain [f]loats and the error messages disappear.
So, is there a way to force odot objects to output 32bit data or convert the data downstream without having to unbuild and rebuild all the tag stuff ?
