Hello,
I'm using streamin~ and I can't avoid using it on a windows box (it's the one that has a 24 in / 24 out soundcard). I was having trouble using streamin~ on it because sys_addpollfn was (I assume) sucking up all the cpu after a disconnection on the client side. Does anyone know if Guenter is still working on this external?
I will leave for holidays tomorrow, so I can't look into the problem now. I have to investigate the state of these objects (haven't used them for a long time and I didn't know that anyone is using them). I was planning add multichannel and lossless compression support, but I don't know when this will happen.

I hacked the external to get it to sleep for a millisecond before returning when there's no data coming through the socket but I don't think that's the best solution (it does appear to solve the problem though) and I would really like to know if anyone has found any other streaming externals - streamin13~ and streamout13~ don't seem to work at all. If there are any with multiple channel support that would be really great.
I'm really surprised that there aren't many other uncompressed audio streaming externals. The mp3-streaming externals simply won't do because of latency.

PS - I'm not sure how the threading works in pd, but for some reason I'm under the impression that I might be putting the entire pd app. to sleep with my hack - if that's not the case then I'm not too but if it is I think I'll need to find a better solution.
