Thanks for the hints, probably the best idea is to turn off dsp every time it is not needed. However playing a video and audio with metro control (sending the bangs according to the frame rate) and using cameras in the same time makes pd totally loose sense of time. Very disappointing, as I trusted more in metro than in God.

mabye you could set dsp on (and off again if needed) this will synchronize pd in a more reasonable way

(high load might blow pd out, means 1 second is lasting three seconds or so, in this latter case there is little to do besides optimizing the patch)
