Hi,

I'm just getting started with Pd on Fedora Core 3; installation was pretty painless thanks to the CCRMA repositories, but I've run into an issue when I first tried to make some sounds with Pd. I recreated Miller Puckette's example of a constant amplitude scaler. When I start the audio, the signal seems to take a few seconds to 'settle' into a constant frequency; I get a few seconds of static that eventually turns into the sine wave I was expecting. When I click the DIO errors button, I get a bunch of A/D/A sync errors, as follows:

audio I/O error history:

0.73 A/D/A sync
0.73 A/D/A sync
0.75 A/D/A sync

0.95 A/D/A sync
1.01 A/D/A sync

1.17 A/D/A sync
1.27 A/D/A sync
1.31 A/D/A sync
1.31 A/D/A sync
1.36 A/D/A sync

If I let the steady sine wave tone continue, eventually there's a bit of a 'hiccup' in the sound, and then I get the following errors:

Can anyone help me out in diagnosing this problem and fixing it? Where should I start looking to fix this?

Thanks!
