[PD] Force OSS MIDI on Raspberry Pi

[Miller Puckette via Pd-list]

That should work, yes.

I just realized - you must be using Pd extended - Pd vanilla is OSS by default,
but perhaps Pd extended isn't.  I'd suggest switching to Pd vanilla - it should
be compatible with whatever externs you're using ,and in general it's more
stable than extended.

cheers
