Well ... whadyaknow, jack does have a portaudio backend. How strange.

So, I wonder if audacity and jack could share access to portaudio ...

That would be pretty crazy ... portaudio talking to oss or alsa, jack
talking to portaudio and audacity talking to portaudio. I somehow can't
imagine that would work very well, if at all ...


Anyway, I've been working a bit with audacity compiled with
portaudio-v19 support. In that worldview audacity uses portaudio and
portaudio uses jackd and it more or less works. I've had some weird
behavior and crashes on my development box, but haven't sorted out if
it's a wxwindows/wxwidgets thing or a jack/portaudio thing, or possibly
just some other weirdness specific to the messy state of that box right
now.

On our rivendell workstations we've got people testing both rivendell
and audacity via jackd and so far I haven't heard any negative reports.
