hi, all,
annoyed by some recurrent issues in PD, i made the following patches to PD's sources :
d_soundfile.c : load the sounfile in a thread to avoid audio dropouts. this patch concerns the "soundfiler" object.
s_inter.c : send messages to the GUI using a message buffer and a thread to avoid audio dropouts.
this introduces a lot of threads and Miller objected once using threads is dangerous.
so, if you like danger, you might try these.... it's experimental still but with the help of some beta-testers, it might get consistent soon.
cheers,
sevy/yves
