OK, I finally got around to compiling the pd-0.38-4-devel-2 tarball. I did:
./configure --enable-jack --enable-simd --enable-optimize --enable-threadedsf --enable-gathreadlocks --enable-newhash --enable-lockfree
Then 'make'. Compiles fine, when I run PD, I switch the audio driver to ALSA. The pd console starts printing "tried but couldn't sync A/D/A" almost immediately and the audio output skips every time the message is printed. This happens even if I increase the audio buffer size to ~ 100ms.
I also tried building with none of the extra config options...same behavior.
IOhannes, you suggested I patch the source with alsamm, but I couldn't find that patch anywhere and suspect that it was incorporated already since during the build I see "alsamm" come up at some point....is that true?
On the positive side, it appears that my audio input is no longer garbled, but I can't get rid of the constant skipping in the output. Any clues?
Thanks a lot, Jacob

I believe the PD version in CCRMA is 0.37.1. I think I will try compiling the sources next...what version is recommended? Is there any reason not to go with 0.38-4? or CVS?
i would go with 0.38-4 there have been some stability issues with it, so if you experience any problems try to go back to 0.37-4.
but 0.38 has a lot of improvements, esp. with the ALSA-code. however, i think you should apply the wini's alsamm patch. (to be found at http://sf.net/projects/pure-data section "patches")
