Hi gang,
just realized that MIDI input to PD only works for me via OSS. That means that if I try to run PD with Jack, none of my MIDI devices can be found. Is there a reason for this? I am using a relatively recent CVS version of PD. Does this have anything to do with the grudge against ALSA that PD seems to have picked up as of late? Or is there some kind of trick with my alsa configuration that I have missed [alsa.conf posted on request]?
Starting with -mididev $anything fails to work with jack, starting with -alsa segfaults [again... I once had this fixed... sigh!], and everything seems to work fine only with these dinosaur OSS drivers. Ugh!
