Hi,
Following up on a scratch build from two weeks ago, the audacity project [1] is now at release candidate 1 for audacity 2.0.0 [2], and is expecting to release in another 2 weeks.
I've built packages for Fedora devel [3] and RPM Fusion 16 [4].
I would welcome any help you can give in testing either package, as preparation for release of v2.0.0, and providing packages for Fedora users.
In terms of the testing, while I think a fairly random approach is useful, think about a task you would like to achieve with audacity, and follow through with it, to see that it succeeds.
For problems, please create bugs, or reply to this message with a subject indicating the issue.
Rather than a straight, "works for me", please indicate any functions/menus you did use, so that others might test different functionality.
For mp3/ffmpeg file format support, use the version audacity-freeworld from rpmfusion buildsys instead.

I pulled this from fedora-scm and built locally here a couple of days ago and so far the little use I've given it with jack seems pretty stable.
The functions I used were standard wave editing: splitting stereo tracks, joining mono tracks fade in fade out, applying reverb using ladspa, saving to WAV and FLAC. Also recording from an outside source. So far so good. I'd recommend pushing to testing, you can always pull it if people report problems.

Slightly different topic: I frequently use SoX for simple audio manipulation and conversion tasks. The fedora version has been compiled without - among others - MP3 support. I always rebuild SoX myself from the Fedora src.rpm but with several libraries only available from RPMfusion
Couldn't someone package a "sox-freeworld" for RPM Fusion, supporting ALL the file formats that are available in the SoX sources ?
After that "sox -h" would show

which is more than what is supported now in the Fedora version.

Submit your package to rpmfusion bugzilla - I'm sure they'd be happy to have it if you are willing to maintain it. I can review it if you want.

Looks like someone is looking at this now [1]

Audacity Team have made Release Candidate 3 of Audacity 2.0.0 available [1], and this has been built for Fedora [2] and RPM Fusion [3].
We welcome installation and testing of any of the capabilities and features of this application, which has been in a long development period, with a lot of emphasis over the past year on stabilization.
If you are able to try audacity out, please leave comments of both successes and failures in Bodhi @: Fedora 15: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-2371/audacity-2.0.0-0.3....
Fedora 16: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-2394/audacity-2.0.0-0.3....
Fedora 17: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-2247/audacity-2.0.0-0.3....
For issues, create a bug in Fedora [4] or RPM Fusion [5], depending upon which build you are testing, and also add a comment to Bodhi, indicating the bug number you created.
