[sc-users] 24bit

[julio d'escrivan]

thank you Sciss, but then is there a way to find out why a 'file  
could not be opened'  other than just guessing? I tried  openRead on  
SoundFile and inspecting but that won't work...

I thought maybe because my .aif file was 24 bit it would not open it,  
but this is not the case, then... how do I go about finding out why a  
file won't open with Buffer.read(s, path) ?

thanks for your help !

Julio.
