Aha - Pd somehow got compiled without ALSA support - perhaps, when you compiled Pd, you had not yet installed alsa-devel. Install alsa-devel and recompile Pd.
apt-get can't find any alsa-devel...
apt-cache search "^alsa-" gave this: alsa-base - ALSA driver configuration files alsa-firmware-loaders - ALSA software loaders for specific hardware alsa-oss - ALSA wrapper for OSS applications alsa-source - ALSA driver sources alsa-tools - Console based ALSA utilities for specific hardware alsa-tools-gui - GUI based ALSA utilities for specific hardware alsa-utils - Utilities for configuring and using ALSA
maybe alsa-utils?

This last one did it! Launching Pd with -oss won't work (it can't

obviously, since "pd -oss" does the same as "pd": it tries using the OSS-drivers. but...
/dev/dsp), but launching it like you suggest "aoss /usr/local/bin/pd" outputs audio properly.
you really should avoid using OSS (unless forced to, because your soundcard only has OSSv4 drivers). use "pd -alsa" to use ALSA directly. (the hacks mentioned in the other mail really emulate the OSS layer on top of ALSA...)
The thing is that when I launch Pd with the -alsa flag, I get a prompt of the available flags, and Pd doesn't launch (and -alsa and -jack is not there, even though I configured Pd with --enable-jack). Do you have to configure Pd with ALSA explicitly when compiling from source?
