Hi all,
I did a fresh install of Raspbian using the NOOBS installer. The pd-extended package from
puredata.info doesn't work with my soundcard (it wasn't working before). And Pd vanilla installed from the Raspbian repositories doesn't work with it either (although it was working fine before). My soundcard is an old EMU 0404 USB. By "doesn't work" I mean that it either throws an "Audio stuck/closing audio" error, or simply freezes everything (Pd, LXDE, mouse, everything) and all I can do is unplug the power chord.
So for me not only did it not fix anything, but i'm actually worse off and left with the inability to use Pd at all on my Pi.
