I created a patch with [readanysf~]. I sent it an [open $1( message filled with an [openpanel] (I selected a wav file). I sent it a [play( message and it started playing. I sent it a [stop( message and [readanysf~] crashed - the patch window became totally non-responsive but the main Pd window still worked. Closing the main Pd window did not exit Pd completely, the windows closed but the terminal window had no additional output (the last message was the Open... printout from [readanysf~]

readanysf~ version 0.13 flext version 0.4.6 installed in /usr/local/lib/

I'm running GNU/Linux Red Hat 9 PlanetCCRMA, with pure-data-devel 0.37 checked out from CVS a couple of months ago.

I also had crashes loading particular WAV files, others worked fine (all were output of "mpg123 x.mp3 -w x.wav") - something about "Unknown command 0.c" or similar was printed in the terminal window and patch windows became non-responsive, as above.

Which version combinations of flext/readanysf~ are known to be stable?
