> Freeverb~ is not really "passed", it's just that pd relies on the gui startup latency before connecting to any soundcards, etc. In -nogui mode, there's no gui setup and it tries to grab the soundcard too quickly and failes, at least that's my understanding of the problem. I noticed this using -nogui mode and -rt, -alsa in Linux.<br>

far as I can tell, adding the delay is the current workaround until
some sort of setup latency/ordering fix is added to the pd source ...<br>

run pd -nogui I can still hear audio (therefore pd does connect to the
soundcard), but I don't hear the audio with the reverb that freeverb~
is suppose to add.<br>Did not work for me. I've tried different delay times and same thing happens: freeverb~ does not apply any effect on the audio when I run pd -nogui. <br><br>This looks like a bigger problem to me, maybe related to running Pd from the command line on Mac OS X (see <a href="http://www.mail-archive.com/pd-list@iem.at/msg27281.html">http://www.mail-archive.com/pd-list@iem.at/msg27281.html</a>). I believe this since I also tried running the patch from the command line WITHOUT the -nogui flag, and the delayed loadbang doesn't start the dsp at all!!! So maybe it's a bug to be fixed.<br>
<br>Any ideas?<br><br>Juan<br><br><br>
