My undergrad training was in computer engineering so I can't help but to always want a generic, handle everything solution. : Well, the issue is that there's a usb midi port a may or may not use that pd lists as an audio device, so I'm looking for a way to make sure I use the usb soundcard. Once again, this is a specialized embedded environment where everything should work automatically. In the meantime, I may not need the usb-midi device for the next couple of shows. --- Dan Wilcox danomatika.com robotcowboy.com
