PortAudio v19 in Audacity has seen enough changes as to improve ALSA
support here compared with Audacity 1.3.3-beta and 1.3.4-beta. JACK
support is built in again, but still might be disabled by default in
one of upstream's next releases.
Please keep success/failure reports coming...
Hi everyone!
Fedora 8, 7 and 6 still contain Audacity 1.3.2-beta. There have been
two new beta releases since then. Sooner or later somebody surely will
open a ticket and use reproachful words when requesting an upgrade to
1.3.4-beta, just because it's newer. So, here's some sort of status
update and the opportunity for the community to help with evaluating
that latest beta release. We, the packagers, appreciate all forms of
success and failure reports as well as feedback sent to the Audacity
developers upstream.
Fedora 8 binaries of Audacity 1.3.4-beta for i386 and x86_64 can be found here:
http://mschwendt.fedorapeople.org/audacity/
They are not signed, but the directory contains a SHA1SUMs file signed
with my key.
The source of these packages can be found in Fedora Package CVS, of
course, albeit in a separate devel branch. A README file in the
rpms/audacity directory contains a few notes about that branch:
http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewcvs/rpms/audacity/README?rev=1.7&vie...
The packages were built with wxGTK 2.8.4 as included with Fedora 8 and
no longer with wxGTK 2.6.x. This may result in changes in the GUI.

Anyway, I'm interested in success and problem reports, and
I'm even
more interested in anybody's attempts at reporting problems to the
upstream developers.
