In fact I know that I can read easily more than 24 monos tracks with "broadcast2000" which is a multitrack recorder for linux... Why cannot get this kind of performance with PD ?

So 1) have you the same poor performance with PD disc i/o objects ? 5) how much tracks can you play on which hardware ?

I am able to read 24 tracks easily, writting is another issue. What computer do you have ? Its on a 500 Mhz, IDE disk with DMA enabled.

2. Is it specific to pd linux ?
3. Do i set something not as it should ?
4. Is it because of no special optmisation in pd for disc i/o ?

I am not sure about the builtin objects (readsf~ writesf~), but I can't think of any further optimization in sfread~ and sfwrite~. (Doesn't mean that there is no way to do it faster ...)

Guenter

6. Does The patchs for the linux kernel solves the problem, some facts ?

Thx for any help,
