Yes, the earlier version allowed me to use audio in and out when audio 
was set to Built-in audio.  I could also send audio in and out with the 
Mbox but with only one channel.  Now, I can get audio out to either the 
Built-in audio or to the Mbox but I cannot get audio in with either.

Here is what I get when I type "pd -listdev" and the Mbox is not hooked 
up to the USB port

% ./pd -listdev

Pretty strange.  I still have the other version of pd compiled in a 
separate directory. If I type "./pd -listdev" in that earlier bin/ 
directory, I get this:
% ./pd -listdev

Very strange, indeed.
