[sc-users] pd better at playing files from disk .. why?

[Wouter Snoei <mailinglists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

it seems that pd is far better at playing multiple audio files from  
disk then SC. SC almost always fails when playing over 16 mono files  
at once (it starts leaving gaps and irregular clicks and loops occur  
after apx 3 minutes). Some sonology students working with our wfs  
system found out that pd can play 96 files on it at once easily,  
without much cpu use and no problems at all. They tested it  
extensively against SC. Could it be an idea to port the pd disk  
streaming engine to SC? Btw only the intel machines seem to have this  
issue with SC, we didn't have any problems back when we had G5's  
running.

cheers,
Wouter
