Hello,

When running a score which uses diskin2 recently, I'm getting a lot of "failed to open file" errors.

I know this is NOT because of the filename being mis-spelled, or mis-pathed, or using weird characters or 
whatever.  Early on in the score, a file name will work just fine (here is a snippet of the log):


new alloc for instr 5:
WARNING: instr 5 uses 10 p-fields but is given 14
diskin2: opened '../bank/keydrum_1.aiff':
         44100 Hz, 1 channel(s), 40977 sample frames
new alloc for instr 5:
WARNING: instr 5 uses 10 p-fields but is given 14
diskin2: opened '../bank/lowhit.aiff':
         44100 Hz, 1 channel(s), 34685 sample frames


(all is well and worked fine.)
Later on, during the same score,  I get this:


B  3.010 ..  3.080 T  3.080 TT  3.080 M:  0.07964  0.08926
new alloc for instr 3:
INIT ERROR in instr 3: diskin2: ../bank/keydrum_1.aiff: failed to open file
asndee	diskin2	"../bank/keydrum_1.aiff"	p4	0	0	0	40	0	0	0	
	  B  3.080 - note deleted.  i3 had 1 init errors
WARNING: instr 5 uses 10 p-fields but is given 14

I usually get a whole string of these errors, all with soundfiles that worked earlier in the score.



A lot of notes are being generated in extremely rapid suggestion, so my theory is that maybe 2 threads are trying 
to read from the same soundfile at once, and the first thread says to the 2nd one "it's MINE!!  No touchy!!"   If 
that is the problem....well, that just seems very lame, so I hope it's not.

Any other ideas?

thanks,
Chris Bailey

What platform?  Do you ave a est program?  i have adjusted te error 
message in the git version with  intent to give more infomation.
I doubt there are threads unless you are setting -j or --real-time

So more information and/or a test program please
