hi list is there a way to send a semicolon message to pd that tells the system to use a specific sound output device and number of output channels? it's not too hard to go to the menu and select it from there, but it'd be so handy this way.
and while we're at it, whats the best bet for downloading pd extended for leopard? didnt find a specific link. tak pf
the latest version is Pd-0.40.3-extended-20080117-macosx104-i386.dmg or Pd-0.40.3-extended-20080117-macosx104-powerpc.dmg from http://autobuild.puredata.info/auto-build/2008-01-17 depending on whether you have a ppc or an intel machine. the download section on puredata.info is not helpful with that. I don't know what the latest *stable* release is, but with the latest autobuild you get some important fixes, but will also lack some helpfiles (which probably were included in the last stable release??). marius.

Yes. But not an "official" supported way.

The Pd GUI and pd work by sending messages back and forth. You can
listen to them by making a patch like
[r pd] | [print pd-msg]
Now open the audio pref., make your changes and see what's printed in
the console. Something like 'audio-dialog 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2
0 0 0 44100 50 0'. That is then the message you'd want to send to pd.
Like
[audio-dialog 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 44100 50 0( | [s pd]
If you save the preferences (fx by sending [save-preferences( to pd)
it will be stored in the preference file for next time you run Pd.
