Yes, all bells. I see myself spending evenings on trying to figure
out what is happening with our beloved advanced sound architecture.

To be honest, I do not know how to proceed. One thing would be to
fix portaudio, the other to incorporate ALSA and JACK from 0.36.

The cleaner solution would be to help to fix portaudio, but this
would mean to learn the internals of the system.
I do not have too much time for doing that at the moment, so it might
take some weeks/months until I can even think of starting it.

Anyone who wants to step ahead is very welcome...
