Hi all,
Just installed Miller's latest release of Pd-linux (patch 2). I'm using RedHat 6.0, with a Turtle Beach Fiji soundcard (i.e. OSS-like driver, though not actually OSS).
When I start Pd with -nosound, it works fine (though without audio, obviously). But when I start it with audio, something weird happens to the gui: the menus screw up, and the DIO errors box (which is always red) only operates once before freezing up.
In more detail: Create a new patch - doesn't work Open a patch - brings up the open file dialog but doesn't subsequently open anything Quit - brings up the Quit? question, but doesn't subsequently do anything Message - works ok
Find - the options don't do anything
Audio - the options don't do anything
Help - 'Test audio...' doesn't do anything.
Yet the 'peak meters' and 'compute audio' buttons do toggle on/off.
Any ideas? Previous releases had similar problems. This one shows slight improvement over patch 1 in that the DIO errors button does function once.

Hi Nick,
I get this behavior sometimes when trying to address certain OSS drivers. The fix is to use "-frags 4" (for example) to force "old-style" FIFO control in the audio driver. Guenter has proposed a way Pd could detect the problem without hanging but I haven't tried it yet.
cheers Miller

Dear all
Is there any way of replaying soundfiles in PD apart from using tabwrite~ and tabread4~?
Thanks

Hi Michael,
Soundfiles can be loaded into arrays using read16 or saved using write16 as well. I've just written an extern like tabwrite~ but which lets you specify a point within the array at which you want to record (i.e. you can record into the middle of the array, then into the start, then jump to the end & record there etc); don't know if it would be of any use to you.

Hi,
Yes, sorry this was done literally yesterday so I've not had a chance to put it anywhere. I'll get onto it asap, and put a link into my webpage.
