Dear list,
Sunday I had a gig in Poland. After connect all cables, mixer and sound card I started my Pd patch without problems. When I switched on the DSP Pd frozen and I didn't understand really what happens. After a while, I started the system monitor and I saw that in calling PA it stops with an error. I tried to start also Pd with Jack and in this case Jack didn't start properly giving me an visible error message. So I rebooted and magically PA starts.
I'm sending you this email just to say that can be a good idea in this case to report an error message very visible on Pd parent or something like this, in order to understand that it is a PA error and probably an error to access to sound card or something like this.
I'm sorry to cannot report a complete log message, but I remember that Pd stops at pa_send_dacs function in s_audio_pa.c file. I hope you can understand that in a real live situation with Wayne Horvitz waiting that you finish your soundcheck it's not a proper occasion to get log message file and stuff like this.
Best regards and sorry if this mail can be off topic.

so what was the error message?
mine would say:
JACK: unable to connect to JACK server. Is JACK running? JACK: server returned status 17
which is meant to indicate that jackd is not running. for some time, Pd is not automatically starting jackd anymore (because it wouldn't properly shut down), so you have to do that manually.
so when using Pd with jackd: - start jackd (e.g. using qjackctl) - then start Pd
or do it the other way round.
- finally, start DSP
