[PD] Natty SPDIF samplerate 44.1k / 48k problem (OSS) - Problem solved!

[Ingo]

Problem solved!

There is a switch at the soundcard mixer (I'm using "gamix") that is labeled
"PCM Default Playback Switch".

- If "OFF" it will set the soundcard to 48k - always (OSS default).
- When set to "ON" it will follow the software's sample rate.

So, recalling a mixer preset with this switch set to "ON" and changing the
desired sample rate via Pd's audio dialog afterwards does the trick.

Since the sample rate is output at start up of Pd the audio dialog needs to
be set once more after recalling the mixer preset or the audio mixer preset
needs to be loaded before Pd starts.
