I've been running Pd 0.40-0 with GEM but no audio on 10.5 for a little while and not seen this problem. <br><br>The solution provided at the bottom of the Apple page seems pretty unobtrusive although I don't know if Pd is truly a daemon or not. I would think it is a user launched application, but Apple has some funny ideas about these things.
<br><br>OT: That webpage has scripts that launch terminal processes to load man pages. Is that a really bad idea?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Jan 18, 2008 11:26 AM, David Plans Casal <<a href="mailto:dataflow@davidcasal.com">
