Joseph,
   I saw similar message recently with pd. However, when I started pd with
jack support it worked fine.

   Go figure...

Trying things out, testing with pd shows that the Oxygen 8 now works.
Thanks, Fernando!

But I got worrisome messages when I started pd:


[jzitt@gimel tex]$ pd &

I suspect that this has to do with the changes in /etc/modules.conf, but
that could be a wild guess.

Any clues?
