[PD] pyext~

hi all, thomas,

is it possible to use pyext~ this way:

try: import pyext except: print "ERROR: This script must be loaded by the PD/Max py/pyext external"

try: import psyco psyco.full() print "Using JIT compilation" except: # don't care pass

import sys, math, mad, socket, urlparse, os.path from optparse import OptionParser

try: import numarray except: print "Failed importing numarray module:",sys.exc_value

class play(pyext._class): """MP3 Player"""

def __init__(self,*args):
    scheme, netloc, path, params, query, fragment =

urlparse.urlparse('http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/data/19/previews/19560__11h11__itmightbeempty_p...')

    try:
        host, port = netloc.split(':')
    except ValueError:
        host, port = netloc, 80
    if not path:
        path = '/'
    sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
    sock.connect((host, int(port)))
    sock.send('GET %s HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n' % path)
    reply = sock.recv(1500)
    file = sock.makefile()
    mf = mad.MadFile(file)
    print "bitrate %lu bps & samplerate %d Hz - ready" %

(mf.bitrate(), mf.samplerate())

def _dsp(self):
    if not self._arraysupport():
        print "No DSP support"
        return False

def _signal(self):
    self._outvec(0)[:] = self.mf.read()
    #self._outvec(0)[:] = self._invec(0)

mad is for playing mp3 file. i know it's hopeless to just try to pass the buffer to _signal... but i am wonderign if it's possible: self._outvec(0)[:] = self.mf.read() maybe combined with a while.

if not, then there's only readanysf~ for playing distant mp3 file, but it's not working for me with a long url ('http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/data/19/previews/19560__11h11__itmightbeempty_p...') don't know why...

or maybe there's another solution? pat
