hi, list
just encountered a very strange problem with windows XP and PD 0.37 i didn't have before:
usually i use the (non-system) D:\ partition of my harddisk to start PD from it. now, for testing reasons, i tried it on the C:\ partition and noticed, that after quitting PD, "wish83.exe" remains in the memory with no way to kill the process ! this happens anew every time i start PD, so after 5 sessions i ended up having 5 "wish83.exe" processes in my memory...
has anybody had a similar problem, or an idea what that could be ? plus: how come i can't kill a process even from the task-manager ?
thank you all

you proabbly did not ctrl-q or choose 'quit' from the menu, and rather just closed the main window? this can leave an instance of the GUI dangling around, i think..not to mention open midi ports...

HI all-
I built a copy of PD 0.38-0 on my Macintosh Pismo which is running a Debian Woody (2.4) distro.
PD works OK, kind of, and I was wondering if others had any experience with this configuration.
I'm using the OSS driver dma_sound. If I run PD without any command line options, I'm confronted with the error OSS: SNDCTL_DSP_CHANNELS failed /dev/dsp. No sound produced in this case.
I can run PD with the -noadc option and it will produce sound just fine.
In every case, I get a message that PD's request for an 8816 bytes audio bufffer returned 4096 bytes.
MIDI doesn't work either, can't open any MIDI devices.
Anyone had any experince with this? Is it fixable, or some limitation of OSS/LinuxPPC 2.4?
Best,
Charles
I used to use Pd on an on Mac running Debian. I don't remember having
that problem or not, but I was able to get sound out for sure. Do
those devices work for other applications?

Hi Charles,
I messed around with Gentoo on a couple of old Pismos, and I never got the sound-in working. This was with ALSA and JACK, and either I had no signal at all or a huge electronic hum. Sorry, but I'm pretty sure it has to do with that specific Pismo soundcard...

Hi Derek-
Just to clarify, I _AM_ able to get PD to produce sound if I use the -noadc option. I'll have to check to see whether I'm OK on input using the -nodac option, although I can't imagine how useful that would be. This is with a more-or-less stock Woody distro on a Mac Pismo laptop.
I looked at the source in s_audio-oss.c and what appears to be happening is that PD opens the available devices for Read/Write, programs the output channels and then the input channels. Trouble is, under OSS/dma_soundpmac driver, reprogramming the "same" channels genrates an error, which is where it chokes on my Pismo.
I've noticed this with a couple of other apps, notably Sweep and Iain Sandoe's driver test code. The Mac driver supports signed 16-bit big-endian data at 44100 and complains when it's re-programmed, or programmed again for some reason. Sweep, for example, caught the error and then exited, but commenting out the exit() calls and re-compiling seems to work fine.
I suppose that ultimately I'll move to ALSA, but being pretty new to Linux, I'd like to get a better understanding of what's going on before I jump.
Best,
Charles
