I didn't want to post a file publicly that is not mine.

My test patch used [env~]-[nbx] for testing and it showed '0' on all
channels, while it definitely showed some output when playing using [readsf~
8]. I cannot test again right now, but it is already good to know, that it
works for you. Am i right in thinking, that this probably gavl related and
not [readanysf~] specifally?

Thanks for testing the file.

Yeah, discovered that as well. I haven't figured out, which setups are
'allowed' and which not. Here loading a 6-channel file to [readanysf~ 8]
crashes.

Thanks a lot for your work. Keep us informed.
