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