Re: [gentoo-user] Pure Data (Pd) can't access ALSA device

I don't (and won't) use PulseAudio and haven't set up dmix or anything like it. The weird thing is the simultaneous audio works with every other program I use (Qutebrowser, mpd, Audacity etc.) -- it's only Pd that gives the error. I already use JACK when recording but it would be more convenient

This sounds pretty normal to me. ALSA isn't really suited for simultaneous audio access. In general with ALSA you have only one program that can use audio at a time, or you use the mixer module from ALSA. I assume a program running on the background has claimed ALSA already for certain reasons.

I can't get Pure Data to work with ALSA. It detects my sound card, but whenever I try to turn on the audio I get the error: ALSA output error (snd_pcm_open): Device or resource busy. I've tried both using the ebuild from the audio-overlay and compiling from the source on the Pd website, both
