[PD] Bad sound quality when playing .wav file during a GEM sequence

[Claire O'Connor]

It's still the same when they are on different drives, I'm afraid. It's
only jumpy and glitchy when the GEM window is open but that's necessary
so...

Is there any way for PD to trigger an action in an external program? So,
have the soundfile in Audacity, for example, and have PD trigger it to play
on that?

Thanks!
