Thanks Andy. I'm actually having trouble with NFS right now but I will look into it. My focus at the moment is getting netjack to compile because I had really been meaning to use it for a long time.
However, the methods you have suggested sound nice for doing some other things I had in mind, ie generating long sequence files and sharing them between machines that interpret them differently...
Thanks for the help. Kevin

Why the complicated ways of doing it? You have a soundfile you recorded on one machine which you want to play back on other machines connected to it on a network? How about FTP?
If you must do it from within Pd itself you can call that with the [shell] command. A better choice would be wput, like
[shell wput file target.dir.remotehostname]
or you could mount the recording device drive as an nfs or samba mount on the playback machines...
..just alternative ideas..

Not sure exactly what you mean here, sounds a bit over my head - could you explain maybe? What I was doing was a tabread sending its values over OSC (one sample at a time... slow! This is not the way to do it, I see) to a tabwrite on the other machine. Took about 40 seconds to get 44100 samples over.
Can you explain what you're talking about? I am having trouble compiling netjack now anyway - it's looking for a jack.pc file that's just not there in the jack source it depends on. Closest thing is jack.pc.in - I may email the author about it if no one here knows anything...
Also beware that I'm on powerpc linux and I don't have the luxury of a pd-extended release right now; I have to compile all externals myself. But, I do appreciate your assistance very much!

Yeah, OSC is WAAAAY too slow for this, just for the record (I'm sure a

of people could have guessed that)... but it worked... I'll work on

netjack now. Thanks again.
were you doing smoething like tabdump->drip->OSCprepend /wavsample ? or were you realy packing it into a binary blob? OSC is a very simple and efficient protocol really.. i cant imagine it takes much logic to decode or encode, seeing as i wrote a full implementation in about 40 lines of TCL..

Thanks - yes I should be using netjack for this, but I'm dirty and lazy
so
far on it. I have gotten OSC to successfully transfer small arrays
just
now. I'm just now about to try it with large arrays of sound data...
Thanks for the suggestions! Kevin

in order of what i'd try:
OSC burst/nonrealtime transfer of audio buffers in binary blobs: do
any
apps do this? is it going to choke liblo and/or pd's implementation?
i think
youd just have to try it, or check osc-dev. without the ability to
stream or
dump the raw 'bytes' of the buffer inside PD's patcher interface,
you'll
have to modify one of the OSC objects to read the table data directly
unless
you want to do something really slow like serialize to a bunch of
floats
netjack (via jackd). latency is predictable (you choose)
streamin~/streamout~ (native) not sure if it reports latency at all
write tables to disk -> NFS/samba
