hey,

i'm running Pd vanilla 0.41-0 on Ubuntu Intrepid, and trying to get it to 
play nice with pulseaudio (setup as an alsa plugin) is proving difficult.

if i choose 'alsa', i have two options for devices, 'HDA Intel (hardware)' 
and 'HDA Intel (plug-in)'. I assume that 'plug-in' ought to connect through 
the pulseaudio plugin; i know in any case that if i use 'hardware' it says 
'resource busy' (because pulseaudio is already playing some kind of 
leftover sound through firefox, even though i can't hear anything...)

the problem is, that when i choose 'plug-in' i get a nasty crash. running 
in GDB gives the following:

snd_pcm_hw_params (input): Invalid argument
input start failed
: Input/output error
pd: pcm.c:899: snd_pcm_status: Assertion `pcm && status' failed.

i've posted a bug report here:
