Package: audacity
Version: 1.2.4b-2.1
Severity: normal
Audacity as packaged does not work well with ALSA. You can run
audacity with "aoss audacity" but you may find, as I did, that certain
Audio I/O settings such as "Play other tracks while recording new one"
or "software playthrough" that use the sound card in full duplex excite
the bugs in OSS emulation or that you can't use the full range of alsa
devices when you have multiple audio devices connected (for example, a USB headset as well as motherboard sound).
Using ALSA natively requires compiling with
--with-portaudio=v19 --without-portmixer
http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php?title=Linux_Issues
You may want to make two versions:
/usr/bin/audacity-oss
/usr/bin/audacity-alsa
/usr/bin/audacity symlink to one of the above via /etc/alternatives
They could be part of the same package.
It is inappropriate to make the user recompile audacity in order to use the
better of the two sound systems.
>From the audacity team wiki:
"If you use audacity 1.3.2 or newer you are strongly recommended to compile
using portaudio-v19 so you have native ALSA support, and use that in
preference to the OSS option."
