[sc-dev] large datafiles & server

[Alberto de Campo <adc@xxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I'd like to import larger datasets and use them both in client and server.

Reading text or binary files and converting them in sclang is easy;
but getting them into the server is clumsy:
Sending them over in little chunks as OSCpackets seems rather like a hack.
Server does not read binary (eg. float32 ) files (or does it?),
so the only way to get them into scsynth seems to be as soundfiles,
but sclang does not write soundfiles (yet) ...

Am I missing some other option to do this?

Trying to get openWrite to work, I did update to the current version 
of libsndfile (1.0.10), and I still get this warning when compiling 
sclang :

ld: warning prebinding disabled because dependent library: 
/usr/local/lib/libsndfile.1.dylib is not prebound

(?)

but still no go, for openWrite I get:

ERROR: Primitive '_SFOpenWrite' failed.
Wrong type.
RECEIVER:
Instance of SoundFile {    (05B1EDD0, gc=38, fmt=00, flg=00, set=03)
...

same thing in the last snapshot, so it is not just my version of
libsndfile.

Thanks for any tips,
best,
adc
