[PD] autoboot in Linux

[Sukandar Kartadinata]

OK, that sounds interesting
I had added a ps command in the startup script just before and after 
calling pd (to see what's going on) and then I got lots of 
sound-related error messages interweaved with the process list
so what you suggest seems to be a step in the right direction

however, now that I tried rc.local the system hangs at

<snip>
Starting anacron:                    [OK]
Starting atd:                        [OK]
Starting system message bus:         [OK]
starting pd...Sample width set to 2 bytes
_


and then I can't even get to the login prompt....
