hi all,
i'm still working on my problem with the maudio quattro:
oss-mode: using /dev/dsp1 and a symlink from /dev/adsp1 to /dev/dsp2, i can't access both input devices, but when i create a dac~ object, i get an additional sound at about 690Hz. (pd's output level is at 97dB). using only one of these two devices works fine...
alsa-mode: using both hardware and plugin mode i don't have the possibility to access all channels, only the channel hw:1,0, not hw:1,1. using -channels 4 only maps the channels 3 and 4 as 1 and 2 (hardware) or only gives 2 channels. the playback sounds odd, too, it seems that the blocks doesn't reach the alsa driver in time ...
portaudio: i failed compiling the portaudio support. it seems that pablio is depending on a PortAudioStream, that i only implemented in the mac version of portaudio, yet...
i haven't got jack working yet ... if someone could tell me how to run jack from the command line with 4 channels, i'd be glad ...
but i'd prefer to figure out how to get the oss layer or portaudio working properly...
thanks for your time and help...

and in both alsa and oss mode i get a lot of dio errors when i'm using only 2 channels ... i experienced similar error when using 0.36 and alsa, but never with oss...
any ideas? (... except buying a hammerfall) ... well, at least the cpu load has improved...

this is the behaviour for the gnu compiler with intel's icc and with pd 0.37 devel i've managed to get both channels working, but the signal from the second channel (/dev/dsp2) is being copied to the output of /dev/dsp1...
not the intended behaviour, either ... but because the different behaviour is caused by different compilers i'm even more confused than before ...
take care...
