[PD] Problem with Commercial OSS and PD

[Timothy Rolls]

Ok, I've found something interesting. I can either have a MIDI in or MIDI
out in PD. If I open with pd -midiindev 0 -midioutdev 1, then I can play
midi out, but not in. If I do the reverse, then I get midi in but no midi
out.If I try -midiindev 1 -midioutdev1, I get a message that midiout could
not be opened.

I still question their claim of 100% compatibility with OSS/Free.
