I don't know why it's working. I just hope the next update won't break that!
So "-sounddev 2" should work for my card showing up as card 1 ? Incidentally, there are only two pages that I know of on the web explaining how to use start-up flags in the command line ( http://en.flossmanuals.net/pure-data/getting-started/starting/ and http://puredata.info/docs/faq/commandline). None of them mention "-soundev". Is this a new flag ? Unless there's a better place on the web to learn about start-up flags, i think it would be a good idea to provide more details on the community website. I always find it frustrating when i have to spend a lot of time figuring out how to use a command line program just because i don't know the syntax of the arguments.
Cheers,
Pierre.

That's great (and surprising) news... I wonder why you're getting a better ride from teh E-MU box than I am from the iMic but it sounds as if I should be digging up one like yours to try.
I think you can just invoke 'pd -sounddev 2' to select the USB device.

Dear list, dear Miller,
I tried Pd on a fresh Raspbian install today. I removed pulseaudio as you suggested. I installed Pd from the Raspbian repos (not your version). I tried it with my USB E-MU 0404 soundcard. It worked right away. No need to slow down the USB. I tried with a latency in Pd of 10 ms, in X, connected to the internet,
and
there was very little dropouts. This is so promising it's scary.
Now i have one very frustrating problem : i don't know how to choose my soundcard from the command line when starting Pd... It shows up as Card 1, device 0 when i do "aplay -l", but i don't know
how
to use this information.
Cheers!
Pierre.
