Sometime back around pd-0.23 or so, i had more-or-less duplex operation happening - that is, i was able to use bonk~ and run some other patches requiring both audio input and output. This was on a Dell PII 350 w/ RH 5.0 and commercial OSS drivers. At some point, Very Bad Things happened to the filesystem on that machine - so i installed RH 6.0, the current OSS package and pd-0.26. Now, audio output works fine, but if i start pd without the -noadc flag the following appears:
OSS: device Nr. 1 on /dev/dsp pd: OSS: requiring extra adc handles pd: OSS: requiring extra adc handles OSS: failed to open /dev/dsp2 read only
and the terminal window is flooded with this message: OSS: drop ADC bufOSS: drop ADC bufOSS: drop ADC bufOSS: drop ADC bufOSS: drop ADC bufOSS: drop ADC bufOSS: drop ADC bufOSS: drop ADC bufOSS: drop ADC bufOSS: drop ADC buf etc. ad quasi-infinitum.
i've messed around with various other startup flags (buffersize, frags) and none of them help. pd w/ audio out only is great, but in AND out would be outstanding. Has anyone seen similar strangenesses? seems like if it worked once it _should_ be able to work again.
thank you
