Pure Data Running on the Raspberry Pi. Shawn writes -

There’s been a flurry of discussion on the Pure Data developer lists about how to tweak the sound synthesis program to run well on the Raspberry Pi.

  1. cool, looking to do something similar

    there are ASIO drivers for linux right? would cut down on choppyness

    not sure if it could handle realtime audio input and output though which is what i wanted to do
