if you building a standalone that others may use then including a umenu that links to a adstatus input and output would be best. If its just for you then you can do a loadmess with the driver number into a adstatus.

Or you can forego all that and just add an open message into a exdac~ to open the dsp window.

adstatus + hardcoded index number of interface & I/O mapping could fit well.

the main problem was the max preferences written on the standalone machine

I didn't even know til know
