[PD] That old -nogui/nosound problem on Linux ...

[Chrissie Caulfield]

Hi all,

I've been scouring the lists for a solution to this but none of them 
seem to work for me. Almost all non-trivial patches produce no sound 
with the -nogui flag, even with the delayed startup or the 
workaround_loader.pd that was posted here some time ago.

I know very little about the pd code but I'm a competent C professional 
programmer and really want to fix this. Does anyone have any ideas where 
I might start to look or is it still 'voodoo'?  ;-)

I'm using pd-extended from git & externals from svn, checked out this 
morning.

I've managed to make this trivial patch that reproduces the problem (and 
includes the startup delay). I don't know why polygate~ does show the 
problem where hip~ and friends don't but I'm hoping it's a clue!

So, does anyone have any (even vague) ideas of where to start before I 
start randomly digging?

Chrissie
