i don't know it by heart, but what i do know is that different objects
use different ways to find a given file.

e.g. some objects will try to locate a relative file in any of the
search-paths you specified, whereas other's will only try to to find
it relative to "their" path (whatever that is [*])

it's not unlikely that a very old object like [oggread~] will actually
have a somewhat weird behaviour and belong to the second group.


if it's easy to send absolute paths, i would use that.

[*] i've forgotten but... it's either relative to the path Pd was
started in, or relative to the path the main patch lives in, or
relative to the path of the abstraction directly containing your object.
