Dear all!
just sharing my expieriences with the current version of vbap.
The system i had the problems on is running xubuntu 14.04, pd 46.2
the problem was also already adressed in the list before by katja vetter & hcs: http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2013-01/099855.html
The problem: when sending long "define_loudspeaker" messages to vbap it crashes pd. (34 speakers) the problem occurs when sending lists with more than 14 speaker-locations. this problem is already filed as an open bug-report.
i followed the suggestions of katja&hcs in the previous thread with no success.
vbap was built from download at puredata.info. i replaced the inlcuded one in pd-extended (i installed it for double checking, uninstalled&cleaned afterwards) as well.
What solved the problem: Apparently when using vbap v 1.0.3.1 instead of 1.0.3.2, it is working with no problems (so far)
just to let you know.
cheers, peter
