Yes. Pd seems to have skipped ALSA almost entirely during it's

me if I am wrong, but IIRC there are no proper ALSA drivers, only
emulation through OSS.
ah I see -- but there is still an ALSA and an OSS setting in the gui
which is misleading
Is there some reason you don't want to use JACK?
no - just a habit I got into -- I would fire up pd and point it to the
system audio out without firing up Jack first -- now I know to just use
Jack always
Latency and such should improve dramatically for you.
yes it also reduces the xruns which were a nuisance but I just ignored
them if just poking at patches
Rather annoying move by Ubuntu however. I suppose you could compile it
in yourself...
from what I understand and correct me if I'm wrong
this was a decision made by the devs working on the Linux kernel
q: if the ALSA OSS emulation layer is no longer part of the kernel can
it be modprobed back in? or does the kernel need a complete recompile?
and if so is there a page somewhere describing how to do this?
just curious...not sure I want to go down that rathole

is there a problem with ALSA and Pd now due to the removal of ALSA OSS
