iirc, i did run into crashes in similar situations, though i cannot
recall the exact details.
finally, i decided, that i never want any graphics to run in realtime,
risking a more likely freeze of the machine without any real gain,
whereas i almost always want audio to be realtime and also would like to
avoid graphics to interfere with audio whenever possible.
since then i haven't used '-lib [Gem|pdp|gridflow]' and '-rt' in the
same instance of pd and could get rid of such nasty issues. in projects,
that use both, audio and video, i usually put all tilde and timing
objects into the audio (-rt, maybe -nogui) pd instance and the gui
stuff, video calculation and displaying into the video (-nrt) pd
instance. both talk over a network socket with each other.

probably that's what's I'm going to do now too. although it would be
nice to have the possibility to do a quick visualization of something in
gem without having to start a second instance.
i already have a separation of pd for "working" (rt) and one for
"reading patches" (nrt, noaudio) to avoid unwanted crashes - so there
will be a third one soon...
from there arise some more questions or thoughts:
I'd like to have the possibility to have multiple versions of
.pdsettings (so changes can directly be applied in the menu and saved
for future use). For a short period of time I was using some start
commands copying .pdsettings files around before starting pd but that
was (obviously) no good solution. Has there already been a feature
request for specifying different .pdsettings files? like a 'pd -prefs
.mypdsettingsfile' ? This was the main obstacle for me to use multiple
instances of pd with different settings. I know that I have the
possibility to specify everything needed in a bash script for startup,
but that's always some more clicks and key strokes than just using the menu.
cheers,
Martin
