Re: [Audacity-devel] Portaudio v19 update

[James C. <cr...@in...>]

Richard,

Even if they can't use some of our patches for various reasons - e.g. 
too specific to Audacity, PLEASE make a list of the important patches 
and then go on to inform portaudio devel what the issues we've worked 
around are.

They may find a better and more general fix than we did.

Getting stuff included upstream is important to both their project and ours.

--James.
