[PD] Pd freezing on startup in ubuntu dapper

[John Harrison]

If I yank the M-audio Delta 1010LT card out of the machine, Pd runs 
fine. When I part the card back in, Pd freezes again. So the problem 
appears to be this M-audio card. The thing is...I Googled and searched 
this mailing list and it appears people use this card with Pd all the 
time with no problems. I need Pd and I need this M-audio card. What's my 
next step?

Weird that the card would crash Pd even with this command:

$ pd -nosound -noadc -nodac

Thanks,

-John
