Alexandre, if nobody else sees this issue  with the object it's probably ok? I noticed it because I was opening the file many times . It was a heartbeat wav fIle triggered by a heartbeat.  I am wondering however if I open a file , play it , then open another file , is the first file closed when opening a different file? If not, that could be an issue.

I figured out what the issue below was caused by. Following on what IOhannes said it turned out there were too many opened files. To play files with the Else player~ object I was banging open a file each time it played. I guess it doesn't close the file after playing and I only had to bang the player~ object rather than the open command again. It would be nice if possible to print out a message to the console saying the file is already open to avoid such crashes . Anyway all is good now. Thanks for all the suggestions of what may be causing the issue
