I'm having problems with full-duplex mode in Linux.
I'm using a Sound Blaster PCI128 with OSS/Linux and alternately with ALSA drivers.
The ALSA drivers seem very nice BTW, a bit of pain to setup, but they sound great.
With OSS/Linux I get this message when starting pd: pd: dacs died.. switching to alternate time source
the same error occours with the -adc switch, -dac works fine.
Using the ALSA drivers, which are full duplex, pd starts in -dac mode even if it the switch is not specified. ie: I get the "write only" message from pd.
Using the ALSA compatible mixer "xamixer" I can mix multiple inputs with no problems while listening to the output.
I don't know if this is the best way to test full-duplex capabilities in Linux? Any ideas?
Does pd support 16-bit full-duplex audio? It seems to work ok in win95.
Thanks.
