[PD-dev] How to customize Pd.app for macOS?

[Ingo Stock]

You can set the audio settings from within a patch by sending a message
to pd.

The message would look like this:

[; pd audio-dialog 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 44100 25 -1 128]

The values are:

[; pd audio-dialog indev1 indev2 indev3 indev4 inchan1 inchan2 inchan3
inchan4 outdev1 outdev2 outdev3 outdev4 outchan1 outchan2 outchan3
outchan4 samplerate delay callback blocksize(

The arguments correspond to the fields of the audio setting window (in
different order).

Maybe it is necessary to send the following message afterwards:

[; pd save-preferences(

At least it seems to be necessary to somehow close the invisible window,
or pd gives an error "too many windows" after too many settings.

You can open the dialog by sending:

[; pd audio-properties 1(

Sorry i don't have the knowledge on how to do this correctly, i just
figured that out from looking at the source code (tcl/dialog_audio.tcl)
and this one post i found about it. [1]

best, ingo
