Pd should just work with PulseAudio. Pd should be able to play audio
while other apps are also playing audio. Pd does this on Mac OS X and
Windows, so it should do it on GNU/Linux as well. The only question
is, what's the best way to do this?
Audacity also has this problem, so I guess its not an easy one to
solve...

I think that the problem is PulseAudio. When I try to start jack i
really need to shutdoen every program using the server (pulseaudio
is a kind of a server) so that jack has control over the sound card.
Only after running jack and starting the server, you can open
Puredata and then select in media the jack out/in and connect it in
qjackctrl.
I tested it with Pd vanilla, but I think it will be the same with pd-
extended, since is the same audio engine.
Remember that need to close all software that uses audio, including
firefox etc.....

How would we make Pd use that ALSA compatibility layer? I know
about the OSS emulation in Pulseaudio, I believe that would work by
doing 'padsp pd'.

"driver" or "soft card" or whatever it would be called. That would
be a better solution than pasuspender because then Pd would be
playing "nice" with all the other sound apps concurrently. Latency
might be slightly worse but I think for beginners at least the
initial experience would be more positive, as many of these users
are coming from OS X and Windows platforms where sound applications
sharing the same sound card concurrently is expected behavior.
I also vaguely remember the pulseaudio is only an issue with ALSA
when there is no hardware mixer in the card. But my guess is that
would be all cheap sound cards, since it has been the case with the
built-in cards on all the Linux-based laptops I run into.

Is pasuspender something that could be integrated into the Pd-
extended menu launch item somehow? I'd really like to make sure
that Pd will output audio by just starting it in Debian/Ubunut.

No sound. What gives?
Thank you,
