I just tryed:
- started mocp or vlc playing some mp3
- start pdextended with -noaudio
Everything works, nothing stops the audio when pd is loaded, I can even send messages to mocp and control it. (mocp is using alsa)
I use ubuntu 9.10rt and pdextended is "Pd version 0.42-5extended-20100530"
Just a parallel though:
- cvlc can use jack :) So you could hook everything with audio and still use
those apps. I have used pd to control both vlc and mocp (my favourite linux player) and didn't require to start pd without audio 'cause all of them accept jack.

From PD I want to control some audio streams playing in cvlc via the shell object. For a change I DO want to use PulseAudio and I don't want PD to make sound! If I start PD (off course without pasuspend) with -noaudio it still automatically takes away pulseaudio. How can I start PD extended without it trying to influence anything audio, so not touching oss/alsa/jack/pulseaudio or whatever stops PulseAudio?
