[PD] pyext~

[patrick]

hi all, thomas,

is it possible to use pyext~ this way:

try:
    import pyext
except:
    print "ERROR: This script must be loaded by the PD/Max py/pyext
external"

try:
    import psyco
    psyco.full()
    print "Using JIT compilation"
except:
    # don't care
    pass

import sys, math, mad, socket, urlparse, os.path
from optparse import OptionParser

try:
    import numarray
except:
    print "Failed importing numarray module:",sys.exc_value

class play(pyext._class):
    """MP3 Player"""

    def __init__(self,*args):
        scheme, netloc, path, params, query, fragment =
urlparse.urlparse('http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/data/19/previews/19560__11h11__itmightbeempty_preview.mp3')

        try:
            host, port = netloc.split(':')
        except ValueError:
            host, port = netloc, 80
        if not path:
            path = '/'
        sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
        sock.connect((host, int(port)))
        sock.send('GET %s HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n' % path)
        reply = sock.recv(1500)
        file = sock.makefile()
        mf = mad.MadFile(file)
        print "bitrate %lu bps & samplerate %d Hz - ready" %
(mf.bitrate(), mf.samplerate())

    def _dsp(self):
        if not self._arraysupport():
            print "No DSP support"
            return False

    def _signal(self):
        self._outvec(0)[:] = self.mf.read()
        #self._outvec(0)[:] = self._invec(0)




mad is for playing mp3 file. i know it's hopeless to just try to pass the 
buffer to _signal... but i am wonderign if it's possible:
self._outvec(0)[:] = self.mf.read() maybe combined with a while.


if not, then there's only readanysf~ for playing distant mp3 file, but it's 
not working for me with a long url 
('http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/data/19/previews/19560__11h11__itmightbeempty_preview.mp3') 
don't know why...

or maybe there's another solution?
