Re: [PD] dropped frames with pdp question

just wondering if someone could tell me dropped frames mean when using pdp. i seem to be be getting a lot of them. i'm using a patch that i wrote on another machine that did not behave like this. furthermore, it seems to be quite unstable.

a frame is dropped whenever there is no time to handle it. dropped means discarded, thrown away. dropped frames should not result in stability problems.

pdp itself should be rather stable- in most cases instability comes from external libraries like the headache-inducing libquicktime. certain codec decoders have serious memory leaks.

actually i never had a crash without either experimental code from pidip or libquicktime involved (or my own experimental code of course :)
