That and more - GUI, video, resource (sample / image) loading, heavy calculations etc. I know there were some components that could load resources in the background (essential for what I do), but at the time they were a bit flaky, and had their own ways of doing things rather than it being built into the core architecture.

If you mean a separate thread for GUI, this is still not there, unfortunately. Any GUI computing disrupts sound, which is why I am using Pd only as a midi sequencer for most of the time. This is very unfortunate. If the authors of Pd finally implement threading, it would be a big event. ___ Linux-audio-dev mailing list Linux-audio-dev@lists.linuxaudio.org http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev

Got a load of stuff planned out, but taking a holiday first! The ability to turn projects into stand-alone applications is coming very soon, and some more tools for sound manipulation and sequencing. > Btw, what is your opinion of Pure Data? > I haven't had a look at Pure Data for a few years now. It's a great project, but just wasn't for me, and at the time a little unstable. I seem to recall a lack of a decent (or any!) threading model (as per my post), but that may have changed. I consider Praxis and Pure Data to actually be very different projects with very different aims. I made a conscious decision to move to solely using Linux and open-source in my work about 6 years ago (having used Linux for about 5 years by then). The one piece of software that kept me using Windows was AudioMulch. I really like working creatively with high-level patcher environments like AudioMulch, Isadora, etc. It's an area that I think is still quite limited on Linux, particularly for working cross-media. While it's obviously possible to build higher-level constructs in Pure Data, I prefer working with code than patching at a lower level. Praxis also began as an experiment in building a system designed for multiple media from the ground up (without claiming it's the right way to do it! :) ) I find that some other software in this field is limited by its history as either audio software that's had video tacked on later, or vice versa.
