Hi August,

I'm using this version - https://launchpad.net/~reduzierer/+archive/rdz-pd-extra+deps
which is dated 2010-10-06 so should be current? I'm also using Pdextended 0.42-5 from http://puredata.info/downloads (Lucid i386). I just tried again to recreate the error and it took much more than 20 times to happen, but eventually the file opened with the buzz. I've attached the patch I'm using - basically I'm loading various files in a playlist with the "left" and "right" keys on the keyboard and then starting the file with "enter". 95% of the time the files play fine, but inevitably one time (like the show last night!) the buzz happens.

Hi James,


What readanysf~ version are you using?

If you aren't using the latest version, please download from here
http://aug.ment.org/readanysf/download.php

or use the handy ppa's from puredyne:
https://launchpad.net/~puredyne-team/+archive/ppa


If you are using the latest info, can you narrow the problem down to a
particular file?  Does it only happen with that one wav file?

I've build a stress patch that opens, plays and then reopens your
Gunfire.wav file over and over again...and can't seem to reproduce your
buzzing.

Hi list,

I've been using readanysf~ for a while and had no problems. However recently
I've been experiencing random buzzing when playing soundfiles. I'm running
Ubuntu 10.04 on a 1.6ghz machine with Pdextended 0.42-5. It doesn't happen on
every file or even every time I play a particular file, just randomly about
once every 20 plays and seems to be an error with how the file is opened, as
once it's opened, it always buzzes until a new file is loaded in.

any ideas as to what could be wrong?

Here's the file with the buzz: http://www.4thharmonic.com/audio/
readanysf~test.wav
(Notice it's only in the right channel)
and here's how it should sound: http://www.4thharmonic.com/audio/Gunfire.wav

thanks

James
