Bug Description

Binary package hint: audacity

Please sync audacity 1.3.2-3 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)

Rationale:
    New Debian version is new upstream version with many enhancements
    New Debain version contains some Ubuntu changes, as follows:
      - Icon transparency
      - use portaudio v19 for ALSA and JACK support
    New Debian version contains alternate patches for Ubuntu changes, as follows:
      - Ship disabled patch for system portaudio (portmixer cannot link against system portaudio)
      - Correct internal name for libmp3lame integration (addresses bug #51063)
      - Do not enable samplerate (as requested by libsamplerate upstream when plugin support is enabled.
    New Debian version contains localisation fixes and other packaging improvements
    New Debian version compiles successfully on gutsy, and works with JACK and ALSA

Additional Debian Changelog:

Attached is a debdiff against the Debian sources. In building this, the following decisions were taken:

Support for libramplerate was disabled, as the comments in src/Resample.h indicate that the libsamplerate author would prefer that we not distribute audacity with both support for plug-ins and compiled with libsamplerate. I believe that supporting LADSPA and Nyquist plugins provides better service to Ubuntu users. This matches the Debian build.

The portaudio support was built with the supplied libraries, rather than the system libraries, as portmixer requires a patched portaudio to run, and it seems more appropriate to keep a separate portaudio for audacity until upstream portaudio accepts the relevant patches.

Support for JACK was disabled on all architectures other than i386 and ppc, to match the portaudio19 package decision to disable this functionality. The problem is that portaudio does not check the boundaries for memory allocation properly on other architectures, and as a result, audacity will crash if jackd is running when it is launched. As this results in no functional JACK support, support was not compiled in.

Jack support would be great for the end user.

Failing that, enabling portaudio in jackd would be another option.
Either way, it would enable realtime effects in Audacity, which is the
bigger picture!

Will file a usability bug against jack asap.
Thanks for taking the time for Audacity 1.3.2!!! :)

I've been able to test the changes in a i386 environment, and the JACK interface works just fine. I don't really like how portaudio19 doesn't maintain a persistent connection to JACK, but that cannot be easily fixed within Audacity.
