apt-get install puredata
i hope, this won't install the buggy version of pd with the memory leak, that crashes your machine after a short time ...
It only has problems if you use MIDI output a lot. I decided to accept the alsa midi patch because I think it opens a lot of possibilities on Linux. I haven't reviewed it properly, I am sorry for that.
well, i experienced the memory leak in a patch containing a py, a netreceive and a print object... i don't think, any of there actually use midi ...
cheers ... t
