Thanks Javi ! I have not experienced such slow downs or freezes, generally
I can run LiVES for several hours without any problems. Perhaps it is
related to the MIDI controls - these are converted internally to OSC
commands and sent to the OSC controller. Maybe there is some internal
memory leak in libOSC.  I 'll take a look and see if it can be improved.

Regarding the playback plugins, SDL is not recoommended, openGL works
pretty good these days I think.

Anyway I am glad your experience was good overall !

Gabriel.
