yeah.... i figured it out. pd just needs to be started from the terminal. then all works well!
also you need to know that kiku is single word recognition. meaning if you speak a sentence it will output a single word (with a very bad score).
yeah figured that.... which I can make works for what im doing (i think) although full dictation or semi-dictation would be more ideal....
i am surprise that it's working on ubuntu 11.04
seems to work!!! idk....
cheers mark

hi mark,
i am surprise that it's working on ubuntu 11.04 - kiku is not showing in the taskbar (a bug in compiz), but it's not affecting the recognition afaik.
as for your problem, kiku have an option to recognize only the words if, in your example, pd-extended is opened causing kiku to restart his engine (thus portaudio). that might be your problem (i cannot reproduce this problem here, ubuntu 10.10).
you change this behavior in Configuration: Dictionary: Match V2C (uncheck)

remove ~/.kiku folder to "reset" the installation.
