To Pd dev -
I commented on one Pr but this seems like a more general question: in PRs
https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/2049
and
https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/2058
there are "channels" methods to set the number of channels for
delwrite~, tabread~ and tabread4~ - why isn't the desired number of
channels for these simply inferred from the input signal?
(In the case of delwrite~ perhaps this is because delread~ objects might
get sorted before it's clear
how many channels delwrite~ will see in its input. But I don't think
this should be a problem with the
table readers).
And anyway, why set by a message and not in a creation argument? As far
as I can determine we're
far from being able to make patches with run-time-determined numbers of
channels - and I'd rather
avoid doing that unless there's great demand since it will greatly
complicate things.
thanks
Miller
