As explained at this URL : http://audacityteam.org/wiki/index.pl?LinuxIssues Audacity can be used with ALSA. Is it possible to add this possibility to the audacity ebuild ? For example, with an environment variabl (as this feature is still experimental). I tried to add the "--with-portaudio=v19 --without-portmixer" option to the ebuild, but some compilation errors occur : Type 'make' to build libresample and tests. configure: configuring in lib-src/portaudio-v19 configure: running /bin/sh './configure' --prefix=/usr '--prefix=/usr' '--host=i686-pc-linux-gnu' '--mandir=/usr/share/man' '--infodir=/usr/share/info' '--datadir=/usr/share' '--sysconfdir=/etc' '--localstatedir=/var/lib' '--with-portaudio=v19' '--without-portmixer' '--with-id3tag=system' '--with-libmad=system' '--with-libflac=none' '--with-vorbis=system' 'CC=gcc' 'CFLAGS=-march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer' 'CXXFLAGS=-march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer' 'CXX=g++' 'host_alias=i686-pc-linux-gnu' --cache-file=/dev/null --srcdir=. configure: warning: CC=gcc: invalid host type configure: warning: CFLAGS=-march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer: invalid host type configure: error: can only configure for one host and one target at a time configure: error: /bin/sh './configure' failed for lib-src/portaudio-v19 !!!

portaudio-19 is not out yet.
Vey true. the fix for the configure issue (at the terminal at least) is to do $ env -i ./configure instead. This seems to be fine with 1.2.3. Beware that currently portaudio v19 breaks when newer ALSA comes out quite often.
