I have had a similar problem when upgrading from Hardy to Lucid / Natty. In my case it was [susloop] that didn't work anymore with the -nogui flag.
I wrote an abstraction to do the same thing and my patch was working again. It looks like some objects need updates to work with a newer OS and -nogui.

Hi all,
I've been scouring the lists for a solution to this but none of them
seem to work for me. Almost all non-trivial patches produce no sound with the -nogui flag, even with the delayed startup or the workaround_loader.pd that was posted here some time ago.
I know very little about the pd code but I'm a competent C professional
programmer and really want to fix this. Does anyone have any ideas where I might start to look or is it still 'voodoo'? ;-)
I'm using pd-extended from git & externals from svn, checked out this
morning.
I've managed to make this trivial patch that reproduces the problem (and
includes the startup delay). I don't know why polygate~ does show the problem where hip~ and friends don't but I'm hoping it's a clue!
So, does anyone have any (even vague) ideas of where to start before I
start randomly digging?
