Thank you for your reply, i just discovered this -listdev by looking at the help page.
Cheers,

"audiodev" and other device selecting options (MIDI for example) count the devicesstarting at 1 (probably because the first OS I ran Pd on did it that way but I don't even remember now). invoke "pd -listdev' to see what devices Pd actually thinks it can access and how it numbers them.

Hi,
thank you for your replies. Of course I know man, but honestly i didn't bother to read it...
I did try '-audiodev "1"' (my card shows up as card 1), but it didn't
work.
I'll try again tonight.
Cheers,
Pierre.

Unless there's a better place on the web to learn about start-up flags, i think it would be a good idea to provide more details on the community website. I always find it frustrating when i have to spend a lot of time figuring out how to use a command line program just because i don't know the syntax of the arguments.
on unix systems, about each and every cmdline tool has a manpage.
$ man pd
most programs i know, also accept a "-h" or "--help" argument, that gives you another help. Pd is a bit exclusive here, as it uses the "-help" syntax (but then Pd is clever enough to give you the full help whenever it encounters an argument it doesn't know about; so "pd -h" and "pd --help" work fine as well).
$ pd -help
in the case of Pd, the manpage is a little neglected, but at least it directs you to "pd -help".
