Oh, and: I did not test them with pd.0.37-test. 0.37 can not be officially supported by me until I can get it to run with ALSA.
Strangly enough the last time we did latency tests using the OSS layer for ALSA, we discovered that the OSS layer showed by far better performance than the ALSA implementation. (Because it uses blocking I/O, which gives better time resolution) So there should be no reason not to run pd under OSS until we have time to fix the ALSA I/O (which should be supported by portaudio actually)
