PD ONLINE DOCUMENTATION CHAPTER 6: PROBLEMS

Here are some of the known problems with Pd:

1.  Timing of MIDI input/output is very shaky.  Audio is problematic
too; there is no checking to see whether AUDIO got in and out on time;
if Pd falls behind, you'll hear a characteristic dirty sound.

2.  There is no flow control for graphical updates yet; the real-time
process can easily block trying to write too fast to the GUI.

3.  No real-time-priority-setting system calls are used, so other
tasks in IRIX or NT can cause gaps in the audio.
