Upstream sound like they might disable JACK support in the next release,
5580030
because it "has never really been tested [...] anyway" and because of the
5580030
PA v19 problems since 1.3.4-beta.
5580030
5580030
A fix for the ALSA regressions since 1.3.3-beta is still uncertain, since
5580030
the OSS support in PA v19 is considered a backup solution for any users
5580030
which encounter problems.

In a fresh account, Audacity's AudioIO ctor calls PortAudio's
86e8ce1
Pa_Initialize(), which in turn starts JACK's "jackd" although Audacity
86e8ce1
defaults to OSS in the audio preferences. This breaks audio completely.
86e8ce1
One can kill jackd, switch from OSS to ALSA in the preferences, but
86e8ce1
then gets the same symptoms as in 1.3.3-beta.

Audacity pre 1.3.4 beta (cvs 2007-11-08) contains copies of libmad and
a06cc36
libtwolame, which would need to be stripped. Its ALSA support still seems
a06cc36
to be broken heavily compared with 1.3.2-beta.

Audacity 1.3.3 beta is in branch "audacity-1_3_3-test" only
0cbacc3
( cvs co -r audacity-1_3_3-test audacity ) as it doesn't work
86e8ce1
as good as 1.3.2 beta. The ALSA driver in PortAudio determines
86e8ce1
inappropriate sample rates.
