Mmm, I've installed all of those, I think, but perhaps from testing, rather
thna unstable.

I'd be interested in hearing if you get this working. It appears that the
devloper of Ardour has suceded in upseting the Debian developers, and they
are'nt interested in doing anythign with this package. Too bad, as I have
lot's of LP's thta I wan't to read in, and this package would be a big
asset (along with gramofile), on doing this. I wisht these 2 projects could
get together.

In any case, I've got several other projects on my plate (mythtv for one),
so I don;t know how much more time I'm going to have for this one.

Thanks for the info.
