Hi list, hi Miller, i succeeded in building the asio version of pd for Windows (using the s_mac.c interface). The reason trying it out was that i realized that pd grabs about 20% of cpu time when using 8 ins and 8 outs with MME drivers. As the audio interface (RME HDSP Multiface) is busmaster and optimized for asio it doesn't need to be that way. (under Max/MSP it needs about 3% of G4/400 at 18in/18out) Yet, the resulting version of pd is incredibly slow (eats all the cpu time) so that trying out things is really annoying. I don't even know whether it produces sound. As i do not have the time to search for the reasons now.... has anyone tried to build the asio verson as well? Is there any usable executable out there?
greetings, Thomas
