i know its kind of a stupid question, but what causes a program (or pd in particular) to become unresponsive ?
i just encountered that pd was stuck on looping a snipet of an audiofile…and i have no idea how to reproduce this...

Typically, a program hangs when it is waiting for some kind of resource. This might be a system resource (allocating memory, reading/writing a file from/to disk, CPU ticks) or any other kind of resource like user input or response from network socket etc.

Try this:
[loadbang] | [until]
(or rather: don't try this. It'll freeze Pd because it waits for infinite number of CPU ticks).

thanks ! network socket might provide a lead…
i did not yet grasp the difference between vanilla (netsend…) and mr. peach objects for network communication. is there a recommendation for one over the other? (i am running on RaspberryPi)
