Hi Moritz, and welcome to develop with clam.

First note that I've manually accepted this mail as a list admin
since you where not subscribed. So please do it.

Did you implemented a new networkplayer? For a new audio backend
maybe? A patch would be helpful (both player and processings).

It's difficult to judge with so few elements. I suggest some
actions:
- run (with a small input) with valgrind to detect mem errors or
leaks.
- try to reproduce it only with clam processings and network
player (instead of yours).
- send a patch so we can reproduce it here.

Don't hesitate to expand on what is your project about. There are
maybe things that could be integrated to clam?

Cheers!
