No, it's still difficult to control audio settings programmatically in Pd Vanilla, Pd-l2ork, and Pd-extended. Users shouldn't have to fish around for and compile an external library just because they'd rather have "ALSA" sent to a canvas
instead of
the console.
probably true, but i don't know how you can fix this.
it seems like your obvious solution is to include [pdinfo] into Pd-vanilla, Pd-extended and Pd-l2ork.
Getting it in 2 out of 3 Pd flavors is good enough for me. :)
you can also simply include [audiosettings] and [midisettings] into Pd-vanilla, Pd-extended and Pd-l2ork.
the advantage of the 2nd solution is that it is already there and a few people are already using it, whereas your proposal gives exactly the same functionality but is (afaict) not already there.
For audio settings it's partially there already, because the audio api stuff is pretty easy to implement and I didn't notice your mediasettings stuff.
and [pdinfo] sounds like a query-only object rather than an object that can control Pd.
It is. But I don't think it'd be too hard to add some user-oriented messages to the "pd" receive symbol for setting stuff.
