Hmm, what would it take to change/fix this? This is part of the reason I can only use PD in the studio, and not live... Sounds like there is a need for some kind of better cross-platform soundfile player external. This might be PD's biggest weakness for audio use!
you can search the archive for the technical problems ... i've posted them several times ...
but imho, the problems are less technical. it would require the pd developers to distinguish between a "solution", a "workaround" and a "bad hack". my sndfiler is just a "bad hack". however if "bad hacks" or "workarounds" are praised as a "solution" there will never be real solutions!
personally, i only use the sndfiler, because it uses libsndfile and thus supports more file formats. it's not clickfree with my performance patch, as the used pd api is not scalable ...
luckily, there will be other options soon (http://tim.klingt.org/pnpd)
