Gab,

Your email address refused this message. I hope it will reach you through

(Perhaps others on this list will be interested in it as well, though this
is a problem only for CsoundAV.)

I guess there is some old version of VCO2 still implemented in CsoundAV. 
I will update it with a newer version got from the canonical.

BtW: what is the last non-v.5 version of canonical Csound? What is the 
best internet address to download it?

Well, I think it may be preferable to start moving to Csound 5 in
general, not least because opcodes did change since the latest 4.x
release. While the new version is not officially released yet, it
is getting close, and it is not expected that a frontend written
for it now would need really major changes later. Also, if you try
the beta version now, you may have an opportunity to suggest changes
that should be made before a release.
However, as far as I know, the vco2 opcode is not changed in
functionality (there are only code changes related to the migration
to Csound 5) compared to my 4.24.1 "unofficial" release, so I would
recommend using entry2.c/oscbnk.c/oscbnk.h from that:
   http://csounds.com/istvan/archive/misc/Csound-4.24.1.tar.bz2
Note that vco2 uses an input arg type "M" in entry2.c that is
possibly not available in CsoundAV; the problem reported may
actually be the result of that. "M" begins an indefinite list
of input arguments (like "z", for example) which may be of type
"i" (including "p", "c", and "r"), "k", or "a".
