Speaking of bangs doing the job, I wish [tabread] had a right outlet that banged when you gave it an out of bound index. I was trying to make a vanilla version of [tabdump] and that would allow me to know when I've read the whole table without needing to know it's size explicitly.

Could an outlet be added to writesf~, outputing the number of samples written to disk?

The parent patch could then use this outlet to establish when writesf~ is ready to receive another "open".

I like the idea, but the outlet could just output a bang, when it is
done, otherwise how do you determine that writesf~ has written all
samples to disk?


I meant that it should just output the _total_ samples written after it has flushed to disk. This would be consistent with the behaviour of  [soundfiler] I believe.

But yes, a bang would do the job.

best,

Jamie
