Yes...only when needed.  Luckily most of us are pragmatic and realize  
that one of the strengths of Audacity is that many people with many  
different backgrounds contribute code.  As a result, we're quite  
tolerant of different coding style, as long as it's readable and not  
too unusual.

1. Mandatory - use spaces, never tabs.  Any files you've checked in  
with tabs, please fix!
2. Strongly preferred - use 3 spaces for indentation.  Using 2 or 4  
is OK if an entire file is consistent.
3. Braces: either of the following is fine, but please be consistent  
within each method or group of methods, i.e. if you edit a file I  
wrote, please use style "A", if you edit a file Markus wrote, use  
style "B":

    A: if (condition) {
          statement;
       }
       else {
          something_else;
       }

    B: if (condition)
       {
          statement;
       } else
       {
          something_else;
       }

Exceptions: anything in lib-src is obviously allowed to have its own  
coding style!

By the way, what editor do you use?  Could you check to see if  
there's a way to provide "hints" in the file that tell it what style  
of indentation to use?
