Hello:
I have been using Pd quite happily under linux. Suddenly it will not start at all. This is the error message I get:
[david@Congo pd]$ pd pd: interval_inline.h:52: snd_interval_single: Assertion `!snd_interval_empty(i)' failed. Pd: signal 6 [david@Congo pd]$ pd_gui: pd process exited
Here are the versions:
[david@Congo pd]$ pd -version Pd version 0.42-4 compiled 08:34:59 Feb 10 2009 [david@Congo pd]$ uname -a Linux Congo 2.6.27.21-78.2.41.fc9.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Mar 23 23:22:15 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Has anyone seen anything like this? I have tried rebooting and recompiling Pd. I get the same message. As you can see, I am running the latest kernel. Fearing that it might be the fault of the kernel, I rebooted the previous kernel, but got the same result. I am sure it used to work with that kernel.
[david@Congo ~]$ uname -a Linux Congo 2.6.27.19-78.2.30.fc9.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Feb 24 19:44:45 EST 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Thanks in advance for your consideration.
Cheers, David

what do you mean by "all of a sudden"? after a Pd-upgrade? after a system-upgrade? after a hardware upgrade? after playing around with some configurations?

http://www.google.com/search?q=snd_interval_empty gives me as first hit a hint that it might be related to alsa. since the first hit i get is very old (2003), it might be a generic problem. the hint given there is to check your samplerate (whether your soundcard actually supports the requested samplerate)

Amazingly, it just started working again. I think a likely explanation is that my soundcard got into a bizarre state and needed to be power cycled. Thanks for your help and sorry for the bother.
