Hi there!

I'm struggling with getting pd-extended working on the cubieboard with line out at least, and line in hopefuly. Cubieboard is an arm board : http://cubieboard.org

The goal of all of that is to use pd-extended to detect commercial ads in a audio real time stream, and scramble it.

But when I try to use pd-extended the following error occurs like 10times/second

ALSA input error(restart failed): Broken pipe
ALSA output error (restart failed): Broken pipe

and that's where my hardaware configuration knowledge ends

I ran the alsa-info script and here is the link : http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=fbc2cdc9db506919ac11a865531b448708575f24

Beside of that I can play sound, e.g. with the aplay command.

My env:

linaro <at> linaro-alip:~$ uname -a
Linux linaro-alip 3.0.42-aufs+ #4 PREEMPT Mon Oct 29 17:40:09 CET 2012 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux

linaro <at> linaro-alip:~$ pd-extended -version
Pd-0.43.3 ("extended-20121004") compiled 15:16:26 Oct 4 2012

I got the binary here : https://puredata.info/downloads/pd-extended-0-43-3-on-raspberry-pi-raspbian-wheezy-armhf

So if someone can help me with that, I will be grateful.

Regards,

Xavier

Hello again,

Does someone had this kind of issue??

Xavier

Hi Xavier,

Yes, I do and have posted on pd-list but no response as of yet.

For me it's with my regular lappy debian wheezy 64b. Most recent Pd-E.

So no wisdom as of yet but you're not the only one.

Hi guys, can not solve the problem but just to ad my experience...
I also get this error, only on output though. I just can not figure out why and when that happens.

ALSA output error (restart failed): Broken pipe

What is a broken pipe??
I am running a patch where I record loops and play them.
I use Xubuntu and latest version of PD-extended.

Hope somebody can explain what happens, it does not make too much damage but I get some noises while I play.

Thanks a lot to anybody who pays attention to this.

Have bumped the list again with this

Pd definitely does not place nice with pulseaudio, so make sure its not running when using Pd. I use this to temporarily suspend pulse:

pasuspender pd-extended

Many people who use Pd a lot uninstall pulseaudio entirely.

Hi, I tried to open pd with this command: ' pasuspender pd-extended ' and 'pasuspender --pd-extended ' with the same result, error on the output. Maybe I have some other issue on my pc?

Check if jack is running on your system.

I was seeing it (Ubuntu Studio 12.4), looking for a solution is what got me to this thread. I turned on the jack media and it went away. Somehow jack is auto starting for me (I used to have to start it manually).
