Hi, [ since OOo 1.1.5 and 2.0 are able to use portaudio/sndfile I am interested in this package, too ]

Sorry to say that but that package looks broken to me. As far as I can see in the source the portaudio upstreams have no clue about SONAMEs. Currently, when you link against libportaudio.so, you get a dependency on libportaudio.so which is bad. Either we just ship the static library (bad also) or we "fix" it by giving the packages a halfproper SONAME. Looking at the source further they apparently broke API/ABI without even caring about SONAME stuff. I saw you copnverted the stuff using libtool and apparently gave this stuff the SONAME libportaudio.so.0 (judging from the package name). As I said, since the portaudio upstreams don't seem to care about proper version numbering this is risky. So, to do the second method, I did libportaudio0.0.18[-dev] and libportaudio0.0.19[-dev] packages with the libportaudio0.0.x as SONAME so that this works at least. I don't think this will be a nightmare judging the long release cycles - considering that 18.1 is years old and v19 not even released yet. Anyway, my current (source) packages are at http://people.debian.org/~rene/portaudio/. (I included the docs in -dev since it makes no sense to make a own package for that less kb...) I can upload them if wished. I also can add you as co-maintainer if you wish... Grüße/Regards, René -- .''`.
