Anyway, if you set up readanysf~ with 8 channel output, both DO play just fine. The second one is playing, but is VERY soft....just jack up the amplitude multiplication on it. Readanysf~ doesn't normalize your audio for you.
My test patch used [env~]-[nbx] for testing and it showed '0' on all channels, while it definitely showed some output when playing using [readsf~ 8]. I cannot test again right now, but it is already good to know, that it works for you. Am i right in thinking, that this probably gavl related and not [readanysf~] specifally?
yes, I am finding out that gavl design is heavily influenced by 5.1 DVD definitions. In the background, it is trying to do a lot of guesswork on channel definitions and will crash if you feed it something it doesn't know.
It will take me a while to get this worked out with the gavl developer.
Sorry I cannot do better at the moment. I am swamped with other work.
