Thanks Roman 
 
It works perfect! 
 
this is the way how it works for me (winxp, pd 0.40.3 ext): 
 
audio-properties; 
pd audio-dialog A 0 0 0 B 0 0 0 C 0 0 0 D 0 0 0 E F 
 
where: 
A = input device 
B = channels in 
C = output device 
D = channels out 
E = sample rate 
F = delay (msec) 
(all the letters must be changed by numbers!) 
  
and with midi: 
  
midi-properties 
pd midi-dialog A 0 0 0 B 0 0 0 C D 
  
where: 
A = input devide 
B = output device 
C = ?? 
D = ??? 
(all the letters must be changed by numbers!!) 
  
maybe there are some differences in other platforms 
I hope this info will be usefull (attached patch) 
 
thanks again 
sf
