openpanel and soundfiler

[Nakayama Yuta]

Hi,

I have trouble in reading soundfiles with openpanel and soundfiler, 
for example 
   bang -> openpanel -> "read -resize $1 array1" -> soundfiler.

While the openpanel appears, PD stops generating its sound.
This makes it difficult to change soundfiles during performances.
This problem appears even on faster(PIII-900)and much(750M) memory machines.

Increasing the "-audiobuf" amount cannot remove this problem. 

Are there any ways to avoid this interval, except for writing 
all filenames of soundfiles in Message-box?

I'm using PD version0.31 on NT.

Thanks,
U-ta
