[PD] Pd on a headless Raspberry Pi

[Pierre Massat]

Nope, I used a randomly generated sequence of notes made with phasors,
ranging from 0 to 127 on the midi scale.
Anyway, the quality of the analog output is not what concerns me here,
since it sounds ok with aplay. The problem is that the same type of sound
generated directly in Pd makes an awful lot of noise when i launch Pd at
start-up, though it sounds ok on the hdmi output.
Maybe it's something about the samplerate, no idea really.

It's a pity that no real serious documentation exists on how the audio
works (like the fact that the analog output is switched off when the hdmi
in plugged in : is it in the hardware ? can it be configured to not work
this way ?).

I'll try an ask on the RPi forum.

Nicorette is a brand that sells patches to stop smoking in France. I
thought it was funny :)

Cheers,

Pierre.
