I'm trying to run Pd on a Linux distribution based on Debian (AVLinux).
My audio hardware (RME) has ALSA drivers and seems to work but I'm unable to test it - there is no sound from any application, selecting ALSA or Jack doesn't improve the situation..
Jack runs fine, I can see Pd and the system, connect them and everything looks good except that in the instant that I select Jack as audio device for Pd the canvas displays this error message.
Googling sends me to the source code and mail archives that are not accessible from here (China), so I'm clueless.
I'd very much appreciate any suggestions how to solve the problem. Even how to test audio hardware with a test signal or so.

"RME" is a bit vague. which hardware are you using? for multi/digiface you will have to load a (special?) firmware to the device before you can use it.
Jack runs fine, I can see Pd and the system, connect them and everything looks good except that in the instant that I select Jack as audio device for Pd the canvas displays this error message.
which one?
just for the sake of full understanding:
- why do you assume that audio-hardware and alsa drivers seem towork
when you are not able to playback from any application?
- why do you assume that jack runs fine, when it doesn't work?
oh, and a common pitfall: most RME devices hae a DSP-mixer on port, which is muted by default. (install and) start hdspmixer (if you have this card), this should most likely do the trick (make sure that the gains of the output matrix are set to something meaningful)

Is it really blocked or is it just a weird nameserver problem? For a long time, there were computers that I used, that could not resolve the name. I used to fix it using this command (on Linux and OSX):
echo 193.170.191.182 lists.puredata.info >> /etc/hosts
(if you use sudo, do "sudo bash" separately, else ">>" will be run as normal user.)
If it still doesn't work, tell us whether
telnet 193.170.191.182 http
says "Connected" or not. (if it does, do Ctrl-] then q to quit)
If it doesn't say "Connected", ... I can't give you any advice.
