Audacity 1.3.7-beta release : audacity-minsrc-1.3.7.tar.bz2

| Requested 'vamp-hostsdk >= 2.0' but version of vamp-hostsdk is 1.1.0

Not available on F10 and older. It's ABI incompatible (also renames
headers) and would require a coordinated upgrade of all deps in F10.
F11 devel is _new enough_.

RDF/Redland/SLV2 support : GONE (was only in 1.3.6-beta)

-----
Okay, so what happens in 1.3.6-beta is that the FLAC Import plugin accepts
MP3 files (and other junk regardless of the file extension and without
checking the fLaC file header magic bytes) and either causes OOM or
creates lots of garbage tracks in Audacity. Changes in the main Import
plugin code are the culprit, too. As a fallback during import, if no
suitable plugin is found, all plugins are used to open ("probe") an input
file. Really bad so far.

Building without ffmpeg and without MP3 decoder crashes Audacity
during import of MP3 files.

ffmpeg loader defaults to searching for "avformat-52.dll" and fails
to accept a 3rd party libavformat.so.52, as libavcodec is not recent
enough (in Audacity log).

-----
New optional build deps:

  SLV2 - http://drobilla.net/software/slv2/
  (not in Fedora yet, bz #470914)
      SLV2 is a library to make the use of LV2 plugins as simple
      as possible for applications.
      SLV2 is written in standard C using the Redland RDF toolkit, and is
      known to work on GNU/Linux and Mac OS X. Licensed under the GPL v2
      or later for now,

  Redland - (in Fedora), large RDF toolkit
      (pulls in libraptor, librasqal, libmysqlclient and more)

  liblrdf - (in Fedora), RDF manipulation library
      (pulls in Redland's libraptor)

  (TODO: check usage of these two RDF APIs)

  Port SMF - MIDI library (no external shared lib) included with Audacity

  ffmpeg - only a few headers included, TODO: which version of the library
       does it want at run-time? (3rd party repo compatibility?)

In audacity-1_3_6-test branch:

d02edac1dafb0c6f6fb12d29505c63b72fb1b116  audacity-src-1.3.6.tar.bz2

Uploaded to lookaside cache. That's a fresh tarball with a post-release
fix mentioned on audacity-devel.

-----
From audacity-devel:
We're going to freeze the code in HEAD on October 18 at 12noon UTC, and 
plan to release 1.3.6 on October 23.

-----
Concurrent work in multiple projects causes corruption and
stalled actions? Reproducible down to 1.3.2-beta, confirmed by
somebody on audacity devel list. Could be because something's not
thread-safe.

-----
rawhide, 1.3.5-beta
DONE: check upstream multi-lib changes
now is done via -DLIBDIR=\"$(libdir)\"

DONE: check upstream libmp3lame.so.0 rename
changed in src/export/ExportMP3.cpp, but not yet in translations

-----
Audacity 1.3.5-beta release : in "audacity-1_3_4-test" branch,
albeit packaged together with 1.3.2-beta in the same pkg.

TODO: See top of spec and evaluate whether this beta would
be a candidate to upgrade to (at least for F10 devel and
possibly F9/F8 updates-testing).

-----
CVS snapshot from 2008-01-23 has had positive feedback, too, but could
need more testing.

-----
CVS snapshot from 2008-01-11 does not suffer from the many audio problems
described below.

-----
Changes in upstream cvs are said to improve ALSA/JACK support (2008-01-03)

-----
Upstream sound like they might disable JACK support in the next release,
because it "has never really been tested [...] anyway" and because of the
PA v19 problems since 1.3.4-beta.

A fix for the ALSA regressions since 1.3.3-beta is still uncertain, since
the OSS support in PA v19 is considered a backup solution for any users
which encounter problems.

-----
Audacity 1.3.4-beta release : unchanged behaviour compared with
previous comment. Fedora 7+8.

Test package in devel branch "audacity-1_3_4-test" only
( cvs co -r audacity-1_3_4-test audacity )
Without JACK support, tagged: audacity-1_3_4-0_2_beta_fc9

-----
In a fresh account, Audacity's AudioIO ctor calls PortAudio's
Pa_Initialize(), which in turn starts JACK's "jackd" although Audacity
defaults to OSS in the audio preferences. This breaks audio completely.
One can kill jackd, switch from OSS to ALSA in the preferences, but
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
libtwolame, which would need to be stripped. Its ALSA support still seems
to be broken heavily compared with 1.3.2-beta.

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