i forgot to mention that it crashes on linux easily with all 
help_*Noise.osw patches. :) maybe i try to write a better bug report the 
next days. for now i need some beers after two days of crashing open 
sound worlds...

about the latency, i didn't measure the raw audio latency, this is the 
latency i get when i touch a slider, switch on audio, etc. it could be a 
slow gui, which causes this. i have to test it with external triggers, 
for example OSC commands.

the 1000ms latency i experienced on my windows machine is surely a 
problem with my sound card (rme digi96/8). the rme support wrote me that 
directsound is supported by this card. so i'm waiting for the asio 
drivers to test it again on windows (or another machine with a consumer 
aound card).
