Hmm, I actually meant to that other way around. e.g. Ardour uses jack, and has a text or GTK gui. This information would be usefull to narrow down which applications to try. Also, ALSA OSS emulation is not completely reliable, as I find out sometimes on my powerpc. It is difficult to narrow down the exact cause of this, but I know it is not a libsndfile issue. > Designating the GUI is too much detail, though you can see in the > listings that I often do indicate required toolkits.

Sorry about that... Yes, I am aware you are unhappy with things as they are. There have been a number of people offering to help you with it; maybe you could take one or two of them up on their offer. I definitely did not mean to imply you should implement this yourself. Be assured that the updates you do are very much appreciated! Martin
