How would we make Pd use that ALSA compatibility layer? I know about
the OSS emulation in Pulseaudio, I believe that would work by doing
'padsp pd'.

"driver" or "soft card" or whatever it would be called. That would
be a better solution than pasuspender because then Pd would be
playing "nice" with all the other sound apps concurrently. Latency
might be slightly worse but I think for beginners at least the
initial experience would be more positive, as many of these users
are coming from OS X and Windows platforms where sound applications
sharing the same sound card concurrently is expected behavior.I also vaguely remember the pulseaudio is only an issue with ALSA
when there is no hardware mixer in the card. But my guess is that
would be all cheap sound cards, since it has been the case with the
built-in cards on all the Linux-based laptops I run into.-John

No sound. What gives?
