I am using libsnack2-alsa alone since several years now (wavesurfer and transcriber), but still the OSS backend is the default in current libsnack2 Debian package. However libsnack2-alsa also provides libsnack2, so users can choose whatever they want to use, even if I added libsnack2 alone. >> If you are interested, you can check my changes at: >> git://anonscm.debian.org/collab-maint/transcriber.git > > Please ask your sponsor (Clint Adams) to upload it to Debian. Clint Adams is not willing to sponsor this package anymore. I have currently no sponsor for this package. I tried (again, after one year without any luck) to get one via mentors a few months ago, in order to fix http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=710333. However I received only a review pointing out many other problems in the package that I am trying to fix, before trying again to find one, but is taking much more time than expected. Despite its low popcon, this package is vital for me, my colleagues and several other people in the speech technology field. Moreover I see no viable alternative for it in Debian. If you want to sponsor it and you have time to do it, feel free to upload it. I have still: 1) to fix some of the patches; 2) to fix the documentation (some broken links and HTML compliance); 3) to fix a bug in a conversion script (or to avoid its installation).
