[PD] delay on startup and startup flags under OSX

[altern]

hi samuel

I started having this problem at some point during this year, i havent 
used much pd for the last year until few weeks ago, the only thing i can 
think off is that there is some midi device that it was not before. In 
my case it is a firewire soundcard, a m-audio fw-410
But i never ever use MIDI. I tried to kill the sndcar process on the 
terminal to see if there was something on it that was causing the 
problem but it is there still.

Aparently thre are some problems with OSX distribution to be fixed yet.

best
