Thanks, except now I get "Permission denied" errors when I try to run pd as a non-root user, and "No such device or address" when I run it as root. I was thinking maybe there was something like .pdrc file or similar config file where I could specify which /dev pd would use.
no, i think, it's hardcoded in the oss layer to use /dev/dspX devices (X = number)
cheers ... tim
