Hi all,
I managed to get Pd working with nearly any number of channels using asio support under Win2k. Attached you'll find my patches that make it possible to use any _even_ number of channels (not only any number that is a power of two, as it was in the original Pd release). It would even be possible to get odd numbers working but Pd seems to round up the -channels flag to even numbers.
Known bug: short audio artefact when DSP is truned on for the first time.
Notes: patch for Pd0.35 test 29, works with my Motu 828 and up to 10 channels; the files attached belong into the \portaudio\pablio subdirectory...
have fun,
Olaf
