For what it's worth, output did work using:
pd-extended -nogui -noadc -audiooutdev 3 test.pd
with 3 being the direct alsa interface as opposed to the alsa plug interface.
It's when I enable the audioindev that I get crackles. I know there are people out there using the UA-25 + jack, but I never needed jack before with an embedded setup.
Part of the issue might be the RPI's real-time kernel. My old wearable setup was far more unstable with a realtime kernel and using a regular kernel with realtime permissions for PD worked far better.

HI Dan -
I tried and got even less far than you apparently did, and gave up. It's too bad - the UA 25 is the best USB-powered interface I've found so far. For the Pi I now use small, cheap, recent-vintage ones like the Griffin iMic. (but there are even cheaper ones :) If you have low-impedance mics, my best guess would be to use an impedance matching transformer (lo to hi) and then a "PC mic" (high impedance) interface.

Howdy everyone,
Anyone had luck with a Roland/Edirol UA-25 with PD on a RaspberryPi? I've gotten it working fine with output, but enabling input gives me crackles and bad cpu usage. Ideally, I want 2 in / 2 out and this audio interface has worked wonderfully with Linux on older/slower machines in the past. The RPI should have no problem spec-wise to run this with PD using only alsa ...
