Hey!

I'm not sure to understand what the problem is; after above
commands don't you get the device settings between curly braces?
Here's what I get:

$ rmidish  
send EOF character (control-D) to quit
[0000:00]> dclkrx nil
[0000:00]> dclktx [dlist]
[0000:00]> dinfo 0
{
        devnum 0
        mmctx                   # sends MMC messages
        clktx                   # sends clock ticks
        ixctl {}
        oxctl {}
        iev {nrpn rpn xpc}
        oev {nrpn rpn xpc}
        clkrate 96
}
[0000:00]>

If you don't get this, could you send me more info on how to
reproduce the problem?

The easier way to switch between clock sources is to just use
"dclkrx" with the clock source device number (or "nil" for internal
clock) as argument.

i'm not sure to understand what exactly is wrong, could you give un
example

thanks!
