pd for Debian ---------------------- Soundcards and Drivers ======================= Pd uses your soundcard in a way to reduce the latency introduced by audio buffering. This may in some circumstances introduce distortions. There are different methods to solve this problem. 1) starting pd with certain flags: -frags sets the number of fragments used in the OSS driver, and additionally triggers the "good old and stable" device interface. -noadc start pd in output only mode. 2) Using ALSA with OSS emulation 3) Try to install the OSS/Free version instead of OSS commercial. Configuration ============== Instead of passing your command line flags to pd, you can write them into your ~/.pdrc file. Each commandline switch on its own line like -path /usr/lib/pd/doc -frags 4 -noadc -lib Gem -- Guenter Geiger , Tue, 3 Aug 1999 14:33:26 +0200
