Re: [PD] -nogui and dsp loadbang breaks audio

Thanks for your help; I have actually just come up with the same workaround, but I was wondering whether there might be a less hacky solution (especially since for my application a rapid startup time is somewhat critical).

Anyone else?

For

The same patch loads fine if I omit the -nogui flag. The problem can not only be produced by loadbanging the DSP, but also like this:

pd -nogui -send "pd dsp 1" mypatch.pd

The problem can *not* be solved by specifying further flags such as -alsa -r 44100 -audiodev [...]

as suggested at [1], [2] and possibly elsewhere. The only workaround for me so far is to turn on the DSP later using a message from pdsend to [netreceive].
