Sorry that I haven't gone back through the archives yet, but educate me.
Is this revision streaming from disk? I understand the architecture
where the first portion of the loaded gig files are in memory and then
GSt has to do a seek and start getting the rest of all notes being
played. 

Is this what you are doing in this revision? 

And what's the current legal state of the 'stream from disk' patent? Has
anyone determined if this is a problem for this tool? I typically load
16 libraries in GSt as a starting point. (Good Sounds.gsp) They
encompass about 6GB of disk space - obviously too much for memory...

(And I do understand that you are only handling a single gig file and
not a performance file at this time.)

Thanks,
Mark
