When I record into a buffer of 176000 samples long but prematurely stop the recording ( thus resulting is silence after the recorded part ) the tabplay~ does NOT output a bang when it has read through it .

@gentleclockdivider [tabplay~] should send a bang when it gets to the end of the table, or when it reaches the index at which it has been told to stop.
Are you saying that it never sends a bang? Or that it doesn't send one when it reaches the beginning of the "silence".... which it is not designed to do as there could be silence anywhere within a sample.

Or has it been sent it a Start+Duration that goes beyond the end of the table?
I have no time to check right now, but could that be the reason?

SUre it sends a bang when the file has audio on it till the end .
When there is only audio at the beginnng ( by stopping the recording before the buffer is full ) it will not send a bang .

It should send the bang when it reaches the end of the entire array (including silence).

You seem to be expecting that the array will automagically remember how much time you recorded into it. It doesn't. You'll have to create your own logic in the patch to keep track of the recording time and use that for playback.
