Hallo, Damian Stewart hat gesagt: // Damian Stewart wrote:
i'm running Pd vanilla 0.41-0 on Ubuntu Intrepid, and trying to get it to play nice with pulseaudio (setup as an alsa plugin) is proving difficult.
if i choose 'alsa', i have two options for devices, 'HDA Intel (hardware)' and 'HDA Intel (plug-in)'. I assume that 'plug-in' ought to connect through the pulseaudio plugin;
In ALSA terms, 'HDA Intel (hardware)' corresponds to the ALSA PCM "hw:0" assuming your Intel card is the first in the system. 'HDA Intel (plug-in)' in the same fashion corresponds to the ALSA PCM "plug:hw:0" or short "plughw:0". This device will be busy at the same time that hw:0 is busy, so you cannot use it either - although Pd should not crash of course.
To add additional, freely named ALSA PCMs to Pd's device dropdown list use the "-alsaadd" command line option. For example say you have a custom PCM defined in your .asoundrc like this:
pcm.custom {
type hw
card 1
}
ctl.custom {
type hw
card 1
}
Then you can start Pd like:
$ pd -alsa -alsaadd custom
to make a fifth device show up in Media->Audio Settings called "custom".
