yo by the way, forgot to mention, i'm trying this on a ibook g3 running debian...
after a while pding on OSX i'm trying to switch to linux. compilation was ok, but when i start pd i get:
/dev/dsp (writeonly): Device or resource busy /dev/dsp (readonly): No such device or address error: failed to open MIDI ports; continuing without MIDI. audio I/O stuck... closing audio and MIDI
i don't care about the MIDI part, cos i won't be using any, but i obviously want some audio ;~) i assume it might be something very easy to solve, but i'm still a newbie here and i get lost with dev permissions etc. hints? r

I'm assuming that you're running jack on your system. This happens occasionally with me, and I usually just run top to find out the process ID for jackd, and then use the kill command to stop it, and then restart it with something like
jackd -R -d alsa -r 44100
or what have you. Hope this helps, I'm not Linux guru!

It might also be some other process that's blocking the sound device, like artsd or esound. You might find out if that's the case with "fuser /dev/dsp" and check with "ps THE_NUMBER_FUSER_GAVE" what process this is.
In any case, you should first test if sound works at all using "aplay" and "arecord", then work up from this (assuming you use ALSA, which you should do).
