Sometimes when I record audio in Pd, a wave file is created that Pd
can't open or play. If I try to open this wave file in an other audio
program like Audacity, this is also impossible. VLC player does play
the file though and when I open this file in Samplitude a message "file
does not contain sample data" appears but I can open the file. If I
resave it in Samplitude it can be opened in Pd. I guess something is
wrong in the headers of the wave file that Pd creates.
<br>
In attach is a short example of such a 'strange' wave file. I hope
that somebody can see what is wrong in this file...
<br>
There is still something very 'shaky' in the 'writesf~ ' object in Pd,
I guess about 25% of the times I try to record something, I have this
kind of problem. An other problem that sometimes occurs is that only a
file with a name is created but without actual sampledata (and this
isn't caused because I don't leave any time between the 'open' and
'start' command for 'writesf'). I haven't succeeded in isolating the
exact problem yet but I'm trying... (I think it has something to do
with using 'writesf' in an abstraction).

I 'm working on Windows XP and this problem occured in Pd 0.40.3 and in
0.42-4.

<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">I've had this problem, too,
on OSX 10.4 and have been unable to isolate it. It seems pretty random,
though it's probably less than 25% of the time with me. More like 5%.<br>
