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

[Fede Cámara Halac]

Hi Phil,

I've had that issue before. You might need to re-select your audio device
from the Media menu before turning DSP on.
I believe that in macos it would be Media > portaudio, unless you are using
jack.

I am not sure why this error happens, but I guess it relates to the pd~
subprocess changing the saved settings.

Hope this helps,

Fede
