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. 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.
and [pdinfo] sounds like a query-only object rather than an object that can control Pd.
