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.

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!
