Hi August,
Well, no unexpected noise here. I've tested with many various files (pd/doc/sound/voice.wav & bell.aiff included !) and the behaviour is always the same. At 240th opening, readanysf begins to report "invalid etc..." and then (after 2 or 3 more iterations) playback just stops. As already mentioned, when trying to save the patch, pd reports "error: /Users/me/Documents/PD/stress.pd: Too many open files". I've run the same test patch with readsf and errors went away. Sorry to sound redundant but I can't see extra clues ... Anyway, thanks for your reactivity.
Cheers,
Pierre

Hi everyone,
Sorry to interfere but I'm experiencing similar issues and cleaning up the headers doesn't seem to solve the problem ...
From user's point of view (no dev skills in here !), it seems that pd
gets overloaded by too many file's openings.
On my system (osx 10.6, Pd-Ext 0.42.5-RC2, hcs' readanysf intel binary), and no matter the format and the size of the files, 240 successive openings lead to:
"Invalid file or unsupported codec. Current file is either invalid or an unsupported codec"
Then Pd refuses to save and reports :
"error: /Users/me/Documents/PD/stress.pd: Too many open files"
I join a simple "stress patch" that tries to isolate the error.
Thanks for helping a bit more !
Cheers,
Pierre
Pierre,
thanks for the report and for the test patch. However, I cannot produce your error.
I am using ubuntu, pd 0.42.5 your test patch seems to work like it should here.
The "Too many open files" error is also not from readanysf~
can you explain a little further? Are you hearing noise like Derek reported?
best -august.
