[PD] Fwd: no sound on Macos

[Adam Lindsay]

Hello Rolando.

I'm hardly a "support team"... I'm just a guy who put together an
installer. I'm forwarding your email to the general Pd discussion list
(which I highly recommend joining at <http://iem.kug.ac.at/cgi-bin/
mailman/listinfo/pd-list>), where other people who have worked with
modern G4 PowerMacs might have some hints

I would recommend sending the output of doing the command:
/usr/local/pd/bin/pd -listdev

That might help debugging.

Cheers,
adam
