[PlanetCCRMA] Why doesn't Audacity use jack in CCRMA?

[Hector Centeno]

Hi,

Yes, Audacity needs that Jack native back end! Before I used to build
my own stable version of Audacity with Portaudio/Jack support (after
doing some needed hacking) but since recent changes in Portaudio I
couldn't do it any more. Now I'm using Audacity Beta (1.3.3) which
comes wih it's own Portaudio source and builds without any problems.
It's quite stable and has very good new features.

Cheers,

Hector
