[PD] [pd~] subprocess: unknown audio API specified

Hello all,
(Further adventures with [pd~]): I have my ‘polywavesynth’ synthesizer working with [pd~]; well, except that…no sound comes out!
- The message ‘unknown audio API specified’ is displayed in the subprocess pd window.
- I have the two audio outputs of the subprocess wired to a 2 channel [dac~], and there are no audio inputs to the subprocess.
- The parent process is using PortAudio, and the subprocess appears to (correctly?) have no audio API selected.
- The subprocess Audio Settings show that the input device is unchecked and is called ‘input device 1’;
- The corresponding output device is checked and says ‘(same as input device)’.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Phil Stone

Hi Cyrille (and Iohannes),
This is embarrassing; I consulted the [pd~] help file many times, but I somehow didn’t find the right placement for the -nogui flag and kept getting errors – I thought I was missing something basic. With your kind encouragement, I have found the right syntax:
[pd~ start -nogui foo.pd(
Hope this can help someone else as dumb as me.
Phil

The answer is in pd~ help file!
"pd~ start" takes as arguments
any startup flags you wish to send the sub-process. For example, specify "-nogui" to
stop the sub-process's GUI from appearing.
