Amazingly, it just started working again. I think a likely explanation is that my soundcard got into a bizarre state and needed to be power cycled. Thanks for your help and sorry for the bother.

Hello:
I have been using Pd quite happily under linux. Suddenly it will not start at all. This is the error message I get:
what do you mean by "all of a sudden"? after a Pd-upgrade? after a system-upgrade? after a hardware upgrade? after playing around with some configurations?
[david@Congo pd]$ pd pd: interval_inline.h:52: snd_interval_single: Assertion `!snd_interval_empty(i)' failed. Pd: signal 6 [david@Congo pd]$ pd_gui: pd process exited
http://www.google.com/search?q=snd_interval_empty gives me as first hit a hint that it might be related to alsa. since the first hit i get is very old (2003), it might be a generic problem. the hint given there is to check your samplerate (whether your soundcard actually supports the requested samplerate)
