What does the error message "ad_dostart: iovs is zero!" mean? This shows up in the console twice when I open the patch and every time I hit the ezdac. I have a simple audio player that was working but when I changed to a different sound file it won't play. What's up? How can I fix this? The first test audio file was just a one note test tone. The file(s) that I really want to play are more dense and last approx. 1 min. 30 sec.

I am on a Mac PowerBook OS 10.10.2, working with Max 7.2.4. I checked my system preferences and the iovs is set to32.

The patch is simply an 'open' message, an 'sfplay~', and '1' and an 'ezdac'. That's all.
