In RedHat 7.2, I tried Pd 0.35 test 22 with my delta66 (same chip as delta44), Alsa 0.9B10... I have an 866 MhZ P3 with Intel I815E chipset...
I get:
pd 4% pd -channels 4 5% pd -alsa < 1%!
This means pd works multichannel with alsa ? is there a special alsa version required, I couldnt get it running with alsa0.9B10 and the rme card.
This probably is the old RME problem of PD with ALSA, that I assume lies in either PD's or ALSA's handling of the plughw layer in the combination ALSA-RME. (0.9.0beta10, here as well, I should upgrade)
The ICE chipset on the Delta and on my Audiophile has a similar problem: It can only do a certain combination of parameters in hardware, and the usual CD file format doesn't work in hardware without translation to the hardware format:
$ aplay -D hw:0,0 ~/loops/hmmbaby.wav
Playing WAVE '/home/freak/loops/hmmbaby.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little
Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo aplay: set_params:739: Sample format non
available
The plugin layer of ALSA does this translation: $ aplay -D plughw:0,0 ~/loops/hmmbaby.wav Playing WAVE '/home/freak/loops/hmmbaby.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo
In PD the plugin layer doesn't work at all here, only the hw:layer $ pd -alsadev hw:0,0 [Midiman: OK] $ pd -alsadev hw:1,0 [SBLive: OK] $ pd -alsadev plughw:0,0 [Midiman: audio stuck] $ pd -alsadev plughw:1,0 [SBLive: audio stuck]
A strange thing is, that even using the hw:0,0 device, I have a [samplerate~] of 44100. I don't know, what the samplerate at the chipset is, though...
Unfortunatly I have no idea who to blame for these symptoms: ALSA, PD, both???
