After attempt to start loop playback, audacity freezes. Happens both with jack and pulseaudio (which must use jack sink in order to make audacity able to play ever). First time it happened when used pulseaudio, runing with jack sink, and now happens with jack. Also doesn't matter, when jack output is used; I have jack with dummy driver, and runing alsa_in with bluealsa dev, + pulseaudio with minimal jack setup, similar to what is recomended for pulse+jack use, but using jackdbus instead of simple jack sink/source... neither alsa_in nor system work. Logs say nothing - audacity just freezes, so i have to kill and restart it, with session repairing. _____________________ Emerge info bellow is correct, but with one clarification: I already began toolchain upgrade, when had to run emerge --info, and binutils with glibc are already upgraded with gcc still building (audacity is compiled with older binutils-2.29.1 + gcc-6.4.0). $ emerge --info

It appears to be more complicated - in some cases it segfaults or just closes, creating debug reports. Described here: https://sourceforge.net/p/audacity/mailman/message/36365669/
please test with 2.4.2-r1 and report back.
no reports, so closing.
Sorry for long delay. I had case to use it. It was either 2.3.2 or 2.3.3 (after editing ebuild to build against gtk2). Used loop playback many times, no problem. Both jack and alsa->pulse are fine.
thank you for reporting back
