Hi list!
I just downloaded pd-extended .42 on ubuntu 10.04, and there's something strange (to me) : I was listening to some music on a bandcamp page, and i installed pd and strated it to see if it was working alright. It is working alright indeed, but the music in bandcamp (in firefox) freezes when pd is running. It just stops playing, as if on pause. Everything works fine again when i close Pd.
Is this normal or is it some kind of a bug?

PD gains control of Alsa, thus firefox cannot play audio. Tha trick is using firefox through jack, and pd too. Search the archives of this mailing list, this has been talked - i recall.
By the way, what you want is called Jack pulseaudio sink.

Thanks for your reply Pedro. I don't think i really need to use firefox and pd together, i was just wondering why this was happening. Now i know! Thanks!

using JACK is the best way to go in terms of performance and low latency. If you don't care about latency in Pd and don't want to muck with settings, you can just do:
aoss pd -oss
and everything will cooperate together, with something like a 200ms latency in Pd.
Previously I tried using JACK as the backend for pulseaudio as Pedro is suggesting. It works pretty well except that it was set up on my laptop and things would get screwy after my laptop would wake up from hibernation. I'm sure that's solvable but at the time I gave up after spending too long playing with hibernation scripts trying to solve it and achieving inconsistent results.

By the way... I just did the pulseaudio sink here on maverick, so I recalled this thread just to give the commands:
(from Ubuntu Studio, like previously said)
sudo apt-get install pulseaudio-module-jack
After jackd is started, launch in a terminal:
pacmd load-module module-jack-source channels=2; pacmd load-module module-jack-sink channels=2;
Easy as pie (not python). Now go to the ubuntu sound options, switch to pulseaudio on output (and in if you like) and enjoy. It is all routed back to jack by magical powers.
