Haven't tried the ebuild in portage, but it worked fine with
pd-0.37-1test1 from Miller's site, but with gcc-3.2.3 and jack-0.90.1.
(I believe gcc-3.3 is still marked unstable in gentoo? Could that be a
problem?) Test1 seems to fix a lot of the stability problems pd had when
talking to jack. Anyway, here's a link to an ebuild:

- Has anybody else compiled PD manually on Gentoo, only to find that it
doesn't start up with ALSA [although it runs with Jack fine?]. With the HDSP, PD will open the GUI, but will not connect to the sound card. Also, no files can be opened or started in this state. Something to do with non-interleaved mode.
I usually run pd with either jack or automatic oss emulation, and I don't have an HDSP. Sorry can't help there.
- [As a sidenote:] does anybody else find Gentoo's ALSA packages
incomplete? Mine are missing Alsaconf, hdspconf, hdsploader and probably some other odds and ends.
Don't know about hdspconf or hdsploader, but alsaconf should be in alsa-utils. I think it moved around once or twice.
grrrrrr........
