What about loading every sample into arrays before you start playing? This would provide click-free sample loading with any version of Pd. It is limited by how much memory you have in your computer, but memory is cheap these days.

well, this won't work, if you're using a lot of soundfiles, that you either want to select on the fly. memory might me cheap, but sound still takes a lot of memory: 32bit * 96000 Hz * 2 channels * 1 hour = 2.7 GB maybe you can find a machine holding that, but then use 4 channels ...

...

this is an example of soundfiler running on linux, 2.6.12, pd 0.39
devel (2 months old): http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/samplesViewSingle.php?id=8570   is there a way to avoid the glitches when changing the sampling (very light wav 32bits float)?

i recently implemented a threaded soundfiler as external that's using libsndfile to read samples. since it's using devel's idle callbacks, it won't run on miller's pd ...

if you're running miller's pd, there are other hacks
