thanks for the replies

We always log into the overo as root.

I presume the startup script executes as root as well..

There is a .pdsettings file there.

If I remove it, pd won't make audio, so there is something in there
that makes pd work properly. Also the alsa option for audio comes up
deselected. However I don't see the error about jack. I feel that for
some reason alsa needs to be invoked from a login to allow audio to be
used- even though the /proc/asound/devices already shows the overo
soundcard, when the startup script is called.
