1. to use the second device, i had to create a link from /dev/adsp1 to

/dev/dsp2

2. both /dev/dsp1 and /dev/dsp2 work without any problems

3. when starting pd with -audiodev 2,3, it works fine the first time i

switch on dsp. the second time i try to switch on dsp, it segfaults...

4. and using 2 audio devices with -audiodev 2,3 the peak meter for the output is the same as for the input ... even if there is no outgoing signal at all...

5. i tried to trace the problem and the segfault seems to come from s_audio.c, line 138:

sys_setchsr tries:

if (sys_soundin) free(sys_soundin);

the freeing fails... i suppose it's a similar problem with sys_soundout a few lines further ... there my abilities to solve this problem stop... in theory it shouldn't be a problem to free a resource. and it's no problem with 2 in/out channels. it might be that it's locked by another process??? i have absolutely no idea...

i made some changes to the s_audio.c, where sys_soundin and sys_soundout are initialized to one size and are not changed any more ... it's not a solution for the problem, but at least it works for my machine...

take care...
