Yeah, I'll try finding someone with more C skills than me to look at the code. My hope is that the file reading code from d_soundfile.c from Pd's sources could be adapted for [soundfile_info], since this code seems to handle those 'problematic' sound files flawlessly and it also supports more file formats than [soundfile_info] (+ AIFF, NextStep). Please correct me: this looks to me like unnecessarily duplicated code, but then I don't know the history of it (probably [soundfile_info] was first?). > all of the above may be wrong. > i'll tak to him about this the next time i see him. > > in the meantime, couldn't you run sox to convert the wav to a "readable" > format? Of course, thanks for the tip. The main person using this Pd-Application is *only* familiar with nuendo/Windows and I showed him how to convert the files with Audacity, but still this is quite cumbersome for him. However, it is a working solution. But this also means, that students rather shouldn't use Nuendo but Audacity (which I - personally - can totally live with).
