Hi Rory,

blue has code that detects possible outputs and shows the user using a
dropdown list.  I'm wondering if you could try that if it would work
for you or not.

Otherewise, I use "-o dac999" with Csound when doing detection on
Windows.  On Linux, I query /proc/asound/pcm to get device numbers
(cat /proc/asound/pcm) with Alsa and with Jack the code is a little
more complicated as it uses Csound bu iterates through a number of
different sample rates to find the connection.

Hope that helps!
steven
