Yep, I've been getting similar delays in 10.3.9 with a modified version of Hans installer.
I just launched Pd from the command line inside the .app/Contents/MacOS/ folder. I'm not sure if I need to pass it some other flags, but I got a long stream of unending MIDI commentary that continues on through the normal operation of Pd:
goomba:/Applications/Pd-0.38.4-extended-RC2-SB.app/Contents/MacOS sburt$ ./Pd DebugAssert: Third Party Client: err== noErr [-536870163] [line 283, file Shared/USBDevice.cpp] device @ 0x1A100000 - can't get descriptor 2005-09-02 11:47:37.537 MIDIServer[591] receiving message (running:1 messageID:1 size:35) 2005-09-02 11:47:37.538 MIDIServer[591] MIDI in length:1 data:FE000000 source:9810035
and it just keeps repeating the last two messages over and over. I even tried switching the MIDI in to a different device. Are these statement just part of the normal running of Pd?
Also, the -nogui flag doesn't seem to work for me, either.
I haven't noticed any problems with my Pd installation running poorly with audio or MIDI. I'm not too concerned about it, but I hope sharing my information helps debug the problem.

When i run Pd it opens and it takes few secs to react or to open the clicked file. I wrote a small script to lauch pd and I realised that on the terminal of the laucn script i get this mesage exactly when Pd comes 'back to life' CoreMIDI: timeout waiting for MIDIServer to start So i guess it is waiting for some MIDI device on the system to start or respond. anyone knows how to fix this? i dont use midi at all *Second question: in the same script i am passing PD some startup flags such as -nogui but this doesnt have any effect. Does this work under OSX or am i doing something wrong. thanks! -- altern
hi samuel
I started having this problem at some point during this year, i havent used much pd for the last year until few weeks ago, the only thing i can think off is that there is some midi device that it was not before. In my case it is a firewire soundcard, a m-audio fw-410 But i never ever use MIDI. I tried to kill the sndcar process on the terminal to see if there was something on it that was causing the problem but it is there still.
Aparently thre are some problems with OSX distribution to be fixed yet.

Yeah, its looking pretty clearly tied to the MIDI stuff, especially
since there have been recent changes to the OSX MIDI stuff. Anyone
want to file a bug report?
As for the -nogui thing, you need to have the standalone Wish Shell.app
installed from
http://tcltkaqua.sourceforge.net/
I use TclTkAqua-8.4.9.dmg. And then you need to launch:
"Pd.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pd -nogui".

If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.
