Bug#469325: audacity: Please enable JACK on amd64

["Marc F. Clemente" <marc@mclemente.net>]

Package: audacity
Version: 1.3.4-1.1
Severity: wishlist


Please enable JACK on amd64 architectures.

I understand that there are (or there have been) issues with 
portaudio19, ringbuffers, memory barries and amd64.  I read in 
/usr/share/doc/audacity/changelog.Debian.gz

> audacity (1.3.4-1) unstable; urgency=low
>   * only enable jack on i386 and powerpc (See also #406754)

I read bugreport #406754, which is now closed.  But I don't understand 
if the issue is closed and fixed, or if the bug report is closed and the 
issue is not fixed.  The description is:

> portaudio19 (19+svn20070125-1) unstable; urgency=low
>    * Disable JACK and ringbuffer on all architectures except i386 and
>      powerpc.  (Closes: #406754: FTBFS: #error Memory barriers are not
>      defined on this system)

Anyway, I re-compiled audacity, and re-enabled JACK (--with-jack=yes).  
It seems to work on my amd64 system.

Thanks,

Marc
