As discussed off-list I've enabled CVS write access for you.  Welcome to 
the team.  This is specifically for fixes for Solaris, understanding 
you'll take reasonable care about measures that might otherwise reduce 
performance in Linux/Gcc.

Getting those patches pushed back to PortAudio is ideal.  Thank you! 
That means the work won't have to be repeated when a new version comes 
out.  It also means we won't have to keep those patches checked in in 
CVS as additional files ready to review and re-apply.

That would be great.

We are very much hoping to have a GSoC student work on updating Nyquist 
to the latest version - so for pushing Nyquist patches upstream it may 
be worth waiting for that, and patching against that version once the 
student has it in place - which should by then by the latest in Nyquist 
SVN.  Soundtouch and dlcompat can go ahead straight away.

It's good to have your help.  As talked about in a previous message, we 
had no one active in the developers building on Solaris until now.
