hi

i'm having troubles to work around unthreaded [soundfiler] with
different versions of pd. here is what i tried so far:

• pd-devel 0.39 with sndfiler:

sndfiler only worked one and only one time on my powerbook and never
on the target system (specs below). no errors are thrown to the
console, filesize is reported correctly on outlet, target table
contains silence. the samples are in wav-format. according to a
previous post on this list this is glitchy in sndfiler so i won't use
it.

• pd-devel 0.38 with threadedsf enabled via configure + make.

pd fails to load every external throwing a message similiar to this one:

tried /usr/local/lib/pd/extra/vbap.pd_linux and succeeded load_object: Symbol "vbap_setup" not found

i know there were poeple who experienced the same problem but what
was the solution?

• pd-devel 0.39 with a workaround patch using [readsf~]->[tabwrite~]

and higher samplerate: this sort of works but from time to time there are ugly glitches in
the audio when loading the sample and crossfading. even if pd is run
with -rt and as root.

target machine: knoppix/debian/demudi mix running "Linux bigblack 2.6.8 #1 SMP Mon
Oct 25 07:35:23 EDT 2004 i686 GNU/Linux" whit m-audio 1010l running
with alsa.

i'm on #piksel and #dataflow right now (zne3ol). discussion could be
there and i'll just post a followup message to the list when the
problem is solved. for pikslers: if someone wants to help me right in
bergen hks it will be very appreciated.
