Hi Mikael, thank you for your reply. i know about licensing issues and portaudio. the news from the authors are looking rather good. the same issues also apply to packages using rtaudio. as i needed the v19, i packaged it starting from your v18. the result is available at http://piem.org/~piem/debian/portaudio/ in case anyone wants it. bye, piem On Sun, Nov 14, 2004 at 11:09:41PM +0100, Mikael Magnusson wrote:
