hi list,
i am trying out if the pd~ object is an alternative for sync playback
of audio and video to the “traditional” method of using two instances
of pd talking to each other by netserver/netclient.
so the situation is that we need one pd instance with audio on and one
without for gem.
because audio needs to run without dropouts in the first process,
while gem will run in the second process.
to run the video in the parent process and the audio in the subprocess
with pd~ doesn't work, because the main process needs audio on. (see
pd~ helppatch the last lines)
to run the audio in the parent process and the video in the subprocess
using pd~ -noutsig 0 -ninsig 0 doesn't work because pd freezes when
using these parameters on pd~
when using pd~-noutsig 0 it does work, but only if the subprocess will
switch its dsp computing on for a moment it can be switched of
afterwards.
is it a good idea at all to use pd~ for that purpose or should i stick
to the netserver/netclient solution?
