Hey all,
I've checked out pd HEAD and I'm not sure if I should have used a release tag? Anyhow the usual ./configure does not work due to the fact that there is no "configure" file in pd/src.
What tag should I be using? Does compiling pd-devel take steps other than the usual ./configure && make depend && make ?
Also I tried Millers 0.38-4 on my newly installed sarge machine. Oddly when I start PD I get an awful screeching sound (even without turning on "compute audio"). Turning on and then off compute audio makes the sound go away, but it is there constant with compute audio on. I'm using oss on 2.6.8. with an onboard RealTek alc850.
When testing audio I can hear the tone through the noise (that does not change amplitude). All other audio apps work fine without noise...
Ah ok, so what I did was turn off the audio input and now I'm getting a clean sound without noise. Anyone else seen anything like this with the audio in causing noise in the audio out? Ok, and If I change the audio input to 1 channel then I get no noise as well, even with audio in turned on. I guess I'll leave it at only one channel in. This damn card has so many connectors on it I'm only using "line out" for "stereo mode" I guess which is set by the driver.
Its been a while since I used Oss... how do I start the software mixer???
Thanks all!

well first of all HEAD is not devel! the missing configure script should be easy to rebuild: "cd ./src/ && autoconf"
if you want to use devel, i'd recommend to try the branch tagged "devel_0_38" or the latest tarball on sf.net there are currently two ways to build devel_0_38, an autoconf system (after running the ./bootstrap.sh script) or the brand new scons build system (which will most likely work on linux only, since i don't have access to a mac and i haven't finished installing windoze on my laptop).
in general, i'd recomment devel_0_38, since it's pretty stable, has an improved scheduler tuned for lowest latencies and performs faster due to handcoded simd code ...
for the noise problem ... if you can reproduce this on devel, i'd be willing to look into it ...
cheers ... tim
