Although this has got rid of a good deal of dead wood, it hasn't touched
the situation with regard to the aubio/portaudio/jack. Everything there
is just as we left it before.
All in good time.

yes, they are needed - sometimes my Debian box gets in a muddle about
numbering these devices and I have to point denemo at the alternative it
has set up. Of course, if we had something taking care of all this it
would be nice.
It seems to me that what would be needed is some package that once it
has been installed would ensure that (by default) a demon was running
when you switched on that provided sensible default connections via JACK
to a sensible default synthesizer with some sensible default
instruments, the whole able to run on modest spec machines out of the
box. It is distinctly the case that when you install JACK on a machine
you have to ask around to find out what can be done with it. And the
same is true of qsynth/fluidsynth.
However, perhaps at 6 or 7 years old my machine is really a bit too
modest! I have heard of applications that determine the type of memory
chip you need to upgrade the memory in your computer - anyone know of
such a thing running under linux?:-)
