Hello,
for using my midi interface with pd I need to create a symbolic link manually at each boot of my linux system with these lines:
/etc/init.d/alsaound stop ln -s /dev/midi22 /dev/midi /etc/init.d/alsasound start
and to launch pd with the following command:
pd -midiindev 23
I would like to start pd automatically without having to type any command line, and it wouldn't be a problem if the symbolic link wouldn't have to be created in root mode at each boot.
Consulting the pd-list archive gave me this hint:
http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2005-02/025929.html
I'd like to test this but before that I'd like to understand what I'm doing, and to know if it is the only solution.
Thanks for any advice.
