Hi Arnout, Thanks for your note. I was able to compile it on my old Debian machine, but first I had to build bzip, rubberband, vamp, and installed the jack-sdk and some other stuff. Finally, it compiled and it looks great...it starts with this warning dialog box though: No audio available Could not open an audio device for playback. Automatic audio device detection failed. Audio playback will not be available during this session. Any advice ? Can you point me to packaging instructions ? _______________________________________________ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
