what? the portaudio api's 1 and 2 are perfectly defined, there is
absolute no need to keep a copy ...

don't agree either ... portaudio is still under development ...
portaudio v19 isn't fully implemented, yet ... but if you classify pd
to be late alpha, then portaudio 19 is late beta ...

in any case ... if we keep the portaudio/midi sources in the cvs, i'd
propose to add the alsa and the jack sources, too.
of course the next step would be to add the asio-sdk, which would
result in some legal problems, but you can't build pd with
portaudio/asio on windoze without this sdk...
