i was going to post about the readsf~ dropout problem today.  good timing.

in my case though, i am sending the open message, and then manually banging to start, usually at least 15-20 seconds after opening,

but i still get dropouts!  not all the time, not in any pattern that i can recognise, but the sound does drop out sometimes with [readsf~] 

i read a thread that suggested making the readsf~ buffer really huge, like [readsf~ 2 1e+08]  but even though that stops my dropout problem a little bit, i still get them from time to time.

my latency is also set at 50ms which should be ok, but even setting it at 100 was still giving me audio drops.
