OSS: drop ADC buf

[Bill Sack]

Sometime back around pd-0.23 or so, i had more-or-less duplex operation 
happening - that is, i was able to use bonk~ and run some other patches 
requiring both audio input and output. This was on a Dell PII 350 
w/ RH 5.0 and commercial OSS drivers. At some point, Very Bad Things 
happened to the filesystem on that machine - so i installed RH 6.0, 
the current OSS package and pd-0.26. Now, audio output works fine, 
but if i start pd without the -noadc flag the following appears:

OSS: device Nr. 1 on /dev/dsp
pd: OSS: requiring extra adc handles
pd: OSS: requiring extra adc handles
OSS: failed to open /dev/dsp2 read only

and the terminal window is flooded with this message: OSS: drop ADC bufOSS: drop ADC bufOSS: drop ADC bufOSS: drop ADC bufOSS: drop ADC bufOSS: drop ADC bufOSS: drop ADC bufOSS: drop ADC bufOSS: drop ADC bufOSS: drop ADC buf 
etc. ad quasi-infinitum.

i've messed around with various other startup flags (buffersize, frags) 
and none of them help. pd w/ audio out only is great, but in AND out 
would be outstanding. Has anyone seen similar strangenesses? seems 
like if it worked once it _should_ be able to work again.

thank you
