Hi,
[ since OOo 1.1.5 and 2.0 are able to use portaudio/sndfile I am
interested in this package, too ]

What is the status of this ITP?
Sorry to say that but that package looks broken to me.
As far as I can see in the source the portaudio upstreams have no clue about
SONAMEs.
Currently, when you link against libportaudio.so, you get a dependency
on libportaudio.so which is bad. Either we just ship the static library
(bad also) or we "fix" it by giving the packages a halfproper SONAME.
Looking at the source further they apparently broke API/ABI without even
caring about SONAME stuff.
I saw you copnverted the stuff using libtool and apparently gave this
stuff the SONAME libportaudio.so.0 (judging from the package name). As I
said, since the portaudio upstreams don't seem to care about proper
version numbering this is risky.
So, to do the second method, I did
libportaudio0.0.18[-dev] and libportaudio0.0.19[-dev] packages with the
libportaudio0.0.x as SONAME so that this works at least.
I don't think this will be a nightmare judging the long release cycles -
considering that 18.1 is years old and v19 not even released yet.
Anyway, my current (source) packages are at
http://people.debian.org/~rene/portaudio/. (I included the docs in -dev
since it makes no sense to make a own package for that less kb...)
I can upload them if wished. I also can add you as co-maintainer if you
wish...
Grüße/Regards,
René
