Which version exhibits this problem ? THe debian repackaged and the version in CVS have fundamentally different ALSA drivers.
meaning the cvs version is probably better? i didn't realise this and just grabbed it and tried to see if it gave me any better alsa performance, but no such luck.
my age old alsa/pd problem would be rendered by frank as
"doooooo-crunch-doooooo-crunch-doooooo" ;)
the crunching is somewhat irregular.
i've had this problem with all of the pd version i've tried (that would be almost every miller tarball, and just now, the cvs version).
You should be able to set the buffersize -blocksize and number of fragments with -frags ... but ..
setting these values higher doesn't seem to give me any better results. setting them lower degrades the situation predictably.
anyhow, sorry about the vagueness of the problem report. but it would be great if i could get around this, as the alsa usb audio driver seems to (appart from this show stopping click) be able to do 6channel output with my emi2|6 under pd.
