Hallo!
- It's a long story but the bottom line is that it appears that I have to use this crappy computer as well as its less-than-steller internal sound card, and that the internal sound card or driver has some sort of bug which requires me to switch to ALSA *after* starting Pd. Everything else produces no sound. And OSS is completely inoperative. So is there a way I can do this in a patch? (The sound card is a Yamaha OPL3-SA23 BTW.)
I guess you already tried pd -alsa ...
- I'd like Pd to be able to send commands to the OS such as shutdown -h "now" when the gallery closes each evening. Is there a way to send such commands from a patch? The only thing I could think to do is send a message to a Python script using sockets....seems rather clumsy.
you can also use the [shell] external ... or you could write a cron job out of pd ...
