Hi Jakob,
To circumvent this, what I often do from the menu is save a preferences file. First you hook up all your devices and tell pd to use them from the GUI. Then you “Save To” a specific file. This way, you can use the -prefsfile command line flag to specify the path to that preferences file.
You can then manually edit the preferences file if you need to change it.
Best,
Fede

Dear list, i would like to use the command line to start a patch on a raspberry pi. Is it possible to select my audio-out-device by name using startup flags? The name that Pd gives my audio device is: 'Scarlett Solo USB (hardware)'
The '-audiooutdev' flag is used indicating the number of the device-list, but I am afraid that the lists' order could sometimes change, hence the startup flag would choose the wrong interface.
Thanks, Jakob
