ahh. yes, that's familiar. I've had that problem before, about 2
years ago, using an RME Fireface 400 with a Powerbook G4 on OSX 10.4
for multichannel performance. quite nasty.

I think I recall that it came down to Portaudio, so I think I fixed
the problem by using the Jack interface. But I'm not 100% sure of that.

try jack and see if that fixes it.

anyone else know a fix?

Hi list. Im using a pd patch to play .ogg files all day long on a windows
computer. The files are played one after another reading them from a
folder in the computer. At some point (let's say once or twice every 12 hours) the CPU usage
of pd.exe goes to the top and the file that is being played slows
down as if it was downsampled, and gets disstorted. This lasts for
like 5 minutes. And then the reproduction goes back to normal.

Can someone from the list gimme a clue about this behaviour and a
way to work it?

Thanks
