hehe, actually i am not sure, if my soundcard physically outputs dc or
if the output is high pass filtered.  maybe i should elaborate a bit
more my setup and what i did in order to explain, why i assume dc on the
output.

i run pd over jackd and jackd runs on the rme card. the hdspmixer has a
levelmeter for each input and output, so i can see the signal-levels
that are sent from jackd to the outputs of the card. 

here the jack-routing:
pd out 1 -> hdsp out 1
pd out 2 -> hdsp out 2

now, when i load the help-patch of [sqosc~], the level-meters of hdsp
out 1 and 2 show full amplitude and i hear a hard click on the
loudspeakers (similar to the sound, when sending dc to the speakers).
when i close the patch, the amplitude remains. when i disconnect pd from
jack, the amplitude goes away and i hear a hard click again. but even if
i restart pd, the amplitude comes immediately again (with the loud
click, of course). also if i connect other softwares over jack to the
hdsp out 1 and 2, the high amplitude comes again. to get rid of that, i
must restart jack. but as soon as i load the help-patch of [sqosc~]
again, i have the same situation again (loud click and full amplitude on
the meters). i don't know of any other setup with that behaviour. this
happens only, when i load a patch with one or more [sqosc~]s. that is
why i assume, it is (at least a bit) related to [sqosc~].
