I haven't been following this thread, but I run Suse 9.0 and my experiences is that the "pre-packaged" audio apps are usually outdated. But the "dependencies" (libaries, gui tools and nessesay other things) are quite updated. I seldom have a problem downloading and compiling a newer version of an app because Suse 9.0 supplies the nessesay (updated) dependencies. The thing that threw me for a long time was that when an app says that you need a certain dependency, a lot of times they're referring to the "devel" equivalent. In other words (for example) if you need "libsndfile" to properly build the app, you probly need to go to yast2 and install "libsndfile-devel" also. But maybe you already know that. Rocco
