Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: pd-extended Group: v0.40.2

Status: Closed

Resolution: Fixed Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: IOhannes m zmlnig (zmoelnig) Assigned to: Hans-Christoph Steiner (eighthave) Summary: Pd leaks file-handles with alsa

Initial Comment: Pd-0.40 on linux with ALSA severly leaks file-handles when starting/stopping the DSP. whenever you restart the DSP the /dev/snd/control* devices are opened anew, but none are closed. this eventually leads to a "too many open files" error, which will keep you from saving your patches (and restarting the DSP)

this appears with Pd-0.40-2 it has been fixed in Pd-0.41 and above i am just reporting the bug for the sake of completeness.

Message: i don't know as i haven't tested it (no time for beta-testing PdX; i just happened to come across a running installation of PdX-0.40 and i thought i check whether the bug is present)

since the bug has been fixed in Pd-0.41, chances are high that it will also be fixed in PdX-0.41 (but of course you never know)

checking is easy: [metro 1000] -> [0, 1( -> [; pd dsp $1(

then run periodically "lsof -p <pidofpd> | grep -c snd"

Message: i found that this bug is also present in Pd-extended-0.40-3

since this is the currently the most recent release of Pd-extended i re-open this bug;

i would suggest releasing PdX-0.41 asap and close the bug again :-)
