aplay and alsamixer work fine.

Good.

Here's the output of various attempts:

plain:

orm@grisey:~$ pd /home/orm/.pdrc couldn't open MIDI input device 1 couldn't open MIDI output device 1 opened 0 MIDI input device(s) and 0 MIDI output device(s). /dev/dsp (writeonly): No such device /dev/dsp (readonly): No such device

Maybe you didn't load the oss compatibility modules? Could you send your alsa-modules configuration and the output of "lsmod | grep snd"?

as root:

If you're in group "audio" root should be necessary.

with -alsa flag (same output with -alsadev 1):

grisey:~# pd -alsa /root/.pdrc couldn't open MIDI input device 1 couldn't open MIDI output device 1

Midi in PD is simply the raw midi devices /dev/midiXX, "-alsa" doesn't change anything midi-wise.

opened 0 MIDI input device(s) and 0 MIDI output device(s). snd_pcm_open (input): No such file or directory snd_pcm_open (output): No such file or directory audio I/O stuck... closing audio

with -alsadev "hw:0.0" flag

grisey:~# pd -alsadev "hw:0.0" /root/.pdrc couldn't open MIDI input device 1 couldn't open MIDI output device 1 opened 0 MIDI input device(s) and 0 MIDI output device(s). ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:930:(_snd_pcm_hw_open) Invalid value for card snd_pcm_open (input): No such device ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:930:(_snd_pcm_hw_open) Invalid value for card snd_pcm_open (output): No such device audio I/O stuck... closing audio

What am I missing?

What card do you use? What version of ALSA? Is PD really built for the matching ALSA? There are quite good alsa 0.9x packages in Debian unstable/testing, that I am using here.
