i think the choices are alsa and jack. jack would be a good choice for everything. You can connect audio between applications, and even pulseaudio can send audio to jack. my pd version dont work well with jack, I dont know why. Maybe I did something wrong during instalation.
I would second jack for getting the best performance, although setting up jack sink with pulseaudio can be a pain and jack will usually block applications which aren't jack-aware (browser etc.).
If really in desperate need of pd while some other audio is on you may do something as hacky as:
padsp pd[extended] -oss -audiobuf 80 -noadc
padsp is actually a pulseaudio OSS wrapper. Of course your mileage may vary... For example on my system I have to suppress audio input (-noadc) to have this working and bring latency up a bit.

hi, my os: ubuntu 10.4 pd-extended 0.42.5-rc4 when opening pd, no other application can use the soundcard. is pd able to use pulse? if not, what is the solution to not block other application from using the soundcard? pat _______________________________________________ Pd-list@iem.at <mailto:Pd-list@iem.at> mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
