Hmmm. I don't know why I automatically assumed (yeah, yeah, I know)
was a Windows app. :(
Anyway, rezound in Unstable is a beta version (0.12.2beta-10), and
quite an early version. Maybe that's why there are bugs. Also, it
seems to use OSS instead of ALSA. Not encouraging.
I'd look for it's home page on the internet and see how actively
it's developed and what it's future plans are.
