I was planning add multichannel and lossless compression support, but I don't know when this will happen.

of course nobody is using them, because they don't work on windows and on unix it only supports one channel. ;-)
Sorry, I don't get the joke :(
I cannot find the message i replied to. This shouldn't be a reply to the quote. IIRC, you wrote that you don't know that anyone is using the streamin~ externals and I replied that they are not used, because they don't work very well and are not very useful without multi-channel support (IMHO). I tried all the different versions of streamio(13)~ and posted several times messages to the list about this in the last 2 years, but nothing happened since then.
this is not a complaint! i know this is open-source software... :-)
but it'S still a problem with Pd that there are too many externals scattered in the net, outdated and not maintained anymore. sometimes with same names and slightly different behaviour. i know you are aware of this problem (the CVS is a huge improvement). But Pd is still a user's nightmare.
Where is the bug tracker?
