I just tryed:<br>- started mocp or vlc playing some mp3<br>- start pdextended with -noaudio <br>Everything works, nothing stops the audio when pd is loaded, I can even send messages to mocp and control it. (mocp is using alsa)<br>

<br>I use ubuntu 9.10rt and pdextended is &quot;Pd version 0.42-5extended-20100530&quot;<br><br>Just a parallel though:<br>- 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&#39;t require to start pd without audio &#39;cause all of them accept jack. <br>

<div>If I start PD (off course without pasuspend) with -noaudio it still automatically takes away pulseaudio.</div><div>How can I start PD extended without it trying to influence anything audio, so not touching oss/alsa/jack/pulseaudio or whatever stops PulseAudio?</div>
