[PD] Force OSS MIDI on Raspberry Pi

[Joe Newlin via Pd-list]

I'm trying to use a NanoKontrol on Raspbian. It works fine if select OSS-MIDI from the menu, but I'm hoping to boot up headless & this is the last hurdle (I think). It's defaulting to ALSA-MIDI for me (with and without arguments). If you're confused ... :(

Thanks,

Joe
