Loading only 8192 samples into RAM has the effect that the playback
of a sound file is often disrupted : Snd cannot be
utilized on stage (the same can happen with with newer versions
of linuxian software, i.e. play or aplay ... whereas the older versions
worked fine).
that's no problems for me since I'm only using SND to convert
Ambisonic files into DTS 5.1 surround ones (on a server). No real time
proccessing.
but wouldn't SND have smart disk read/write management if used live ?
