[PD] alsa / oss layer / audiodev

Hi all,

i tried some different audio settings for pd (pd 0.36-0) on my linux
machine with my maudio quattro
using alsa, i'm experiencing dio errors ever once in a while (about
one or two times a minute). well, i can't hear them, but pd complains
about it...

using oss, i don't get any dio errors, but can only access the first
two channels (/dev/dsp2), but not the second (/dev/adsp2). i tried to
remap the second device with a symbolic link to /dev/dsp3, but when i
try to open pd with -audiodev 2,3 i can only open one patch. when i
open a second (sub-)patch i hear a nasty sound on the first device
(/dev/dsp2), that keeps until i quit pd...

is it possible to access the second device of a soundcard with pd?
why do i get dio errors when i use the alsa interface instead of the
oss-layer (it's the same driver, alsa 0.9.2)?

i'd appreciate any hints... thanks...
