Troubleshooting: NodeAlreadyPlayingException

Example

signalflow.NodeAlreadyPlayingException: Node cannot be played as it is already
playing

Description

This exception occurs when play() is called on a Node object that is already playing.

Solution

Calling play() on a Node object simply connects the output of that node to the output endpoint of the audio graph, which means that frames will be requested from it in future audio I/O blocks.

Calling play() a second time therefore has no effect, because the Node is already connected.

If you want to play a particular sound twice, you should instead create two copies of the Patch and play them individually.
