Hello all,

c:/pd/bin/pd.exe -verbose -listdev -pa -nomidi -channels 4

That's my command line. Everything appears to work normally, but I've encountered a problem when:

1. I lower the setting for "Latency" in the Media toolbar > Audio Settings to anything below 70 (the default) 2. then turn the DSP on and off a few times. The higher the setting, the more stable the application.the lower the setting, the sooner it craps out.

For example, if I lower the setting to "12" then turn the DSP on and off maybe 5 times or less, PD creates an error and WinXP asks me to send an error report to the folks in Washington state. If I set the latency setting to "24", then turn the DSP on and off maybe 30 times, PD creates an error etc.

Is this a PD error or a Portaudio error - or my error? Is this a known problem? Can I do something to prevent this?

My stats: WinXP Pro Pd 0.37 test 10 (most recent) MOTU 2408mkII MOTU's proprietary PCI-1324 card and ASIO support

p.s.: Portaudio on my system has always been rather 'sketchy' at the best of times. I've reported problems before that PD would crash upon opening perhaps 1 of 10 times but that was in the previous Portaudio version. Do other users experience this problem too? Cuz if not, then I should be writing this email message to MOTU or the PortAudio team.

Regards, Dave Sabine
