did you take a look at my patch? what i am doing is not recording one long file but several short ones. that may make a difference?!
btw. am i assuming correctly that "truncate" means that everytime i send a start message (after a stop messagE) the file is supposed to be reset to 0? hmm. i have the mode set to "truncate" (opened another file afterwards) and the file is still growing...

it took me a long time to find out why my pc freezes after about 30 minutes of operation. but now i think i found something.
i am using [mp3write~] to generate an mp3 file that is then taken by an other program and moved to a different folder (i can't do that within pd, right?). now i noticed that my system is continuously loosing memory while this patch is running. when there is no more physical memory available (which i am observing with taskmanager) the system freezes. closing pd priort to a freeze releases all the memory again.
the attached patch is a simplified version of the patch i am using. after stopping the mp3write~ i seem to have to open a dummy.mp3 file to release the other file to make it possible for another application to copy it. for my purpose i would use mode "truncate" of [mp3write~] then, but using modes "truncate" or "append" doesn't seem to make a difference.
using [writesf~] instead of [mp3write~] works. but i need .mp3 files. this happens running pd 0.36-0 on w2k and wxp using mp3write~ version 0.1
help meee youu. joreg.
