Has anyone experienced audio output stalling in Pd (but not in other apps, and not audio levels in windows "volume control") after opening a second Pd patch. This happens all the time for me. Setup: NT 4.0 on Dell with neoMagic soundcard. Remedy is usually to restart Pd.
Also, following up on Miller's suggestion in the Pd documentation, I've read through Dodge and Jerse's "Computer Music". The 3rd and 4th chapters contain useful (though occasionally algebraic) discussions of object-type programs like Pd. For newbies who really want to stick it out before giving up, try this book.
