hi there,
hmm; is this _real_ OSS mode, or just the oss-compatibility layer from alsa?
the latter. i disabled oss in the kernel configuration and also tried to disable the kernel usb audio and midi drivers (they are rumored to work in oss mode only and to cause a lot of issues), but doing so didn't help.
just did some quick testing with ubuntu 6.06 and pd 0.39-2 - pretty much the same thing. there seems to be no way of getting sound into pd via the audigy card ... one thing caught my attention: ubuntu (or gnome, respectively) comes with a volume control applet. if i select my crappy on-board sound card as active alsa device, there is a capture-tab in this applet that doesn't appear for the audigy. could it be that capturing audio is simply broken in alsa with this card? is there an easy way of testing if the line-in input of a soundcard actually works with alsa?
sorry for bugging you, i realise that i should probably turn to some linux audio mailing list with this issue ...
with kind regards, thoralf.
