Yes, that solution also works ! However I tested it and it's really slow.
Saving the data to a file and reading it is faster, like:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    FILE *output;
    output = fopen("data.txt", "w");

    for (i = 1; i <= MAX; i++) {
        x = (double) rand() / RAND_MAX;
        y = (double) rand() / RAND_MAX;

	fprintf(output, "%lf %lf \n", x, y);
    }

    fclose(output);

    for (i = 1; i <= MAX; i++) {
        fprintf(pipe, "plot 'data.txt' every ::1::%d using ($1*4):($2*4) pt
7 lc -1 notitle \n", i);
        fflush(pipe);
	usleep(1000);
    }

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then, so far, I guess that's an acceptable way of using the C environment
for making animations. And if I need some extra flexibility I could save
each image and merge them with ffmpeg.
About the mailing list, I'm sending the messages through Nabble forum and I
keep receiving : Your recent message has not yet been accepted by the

I'm getting answers, and the mailing list actually receives my messages.
