Hi all,
Just installed Miller's latest release of Pd-linux (patch 2). I'm using RedHat 6.0, with a Turtle Beach Fiji soundcard (i.e. OSS-like driver, though not actually OSS).
When I start Pd with -nosound, it works fine (though without audio, obviously). But when I start it with audio, something weird happens to the gui: the menus screw up, and the DIO errors box (which is always red) only operates once before freezing up.
In more detail: Create a new patch - doesn't work Open a patch - brings up the open file dialog but doesn't subsequently open anything Quit - brings up the Quit? question, but doesn't subsequently do anything Message - works ok
Find - the options don't do anything
Audio - the options don't do anything
Help - 'Test audio...' doesn't do anything.
Yet the 'peak meters' and 'compute audio' buttons do toggle on/off.
Any ideas? Previous releases had similar problems. This one shows slight improvement over patch 1 in that the DIO errors button does function once.
