it seems, that the "-open <file>" now works

these flags are WIN-flags only !!!

on LINUX you get others like :
-realtime       -- realtime priority (superuser only)
-rt             -- alias for "-realtime"
-frags          -- specify number of audio fragments (defeats audiobuf)
-fragsize       -- specify audio fragment size

on LINUX/ALSA system you have additional
-alsa           -- use ALSA audio drivers
-blockmode      -- use ALSA block mode
-queuesize      -- set the queue size for the ALSA stream mode

or on LINUX/RME9652 systems you can use additional
-rme                    -- use RME 9652 audio drivers
-soundindev <n>         -- specify RME audio input device number
(counting from
1)
-soundoutdev <n>        -- specify RME audio output device number

but of course you get ALL the flags working on your system , when typing
"pd -fdsartsda", where "fdsartsda" is anything but NO flag.
(thanks miller, who finally updated the "-help" option to show the
actual flag-options (not those of pd-0.26 or so) ;-)
