PortAudio v19 in Audacity has seen enough changes as to improve ALSA
support here compared with Audacity 1.3.3-beta and 1.3.4-beta. JACK
support is built in again, but still might be disabled by default in
one of upstream's next releases.

Please keep success/failure reports coming...

>  Hi everyone!

>  Fedora 8, 7 and 6 still contain Audacity 1.3.2-beta. There have been
>  two new beta releases since then. Sooner or later somebody surely will
>  open a ticket and use reproachful words when requesting an upgrade to
>  1.3.4-beta, just because it's newer. So, here's some sort of status
>  update and the opportunity for the community to help with evaluating
>  that latest beta release. We, the packagers, appreciate all forms of
>  success and failure reports as well as feedback sent to the Audacity
>  developers upstream.
