Hi,

The binary 'just worked' on ubuntu 10.04. Haven't had much time to do 
real testing though (opened, connected jack, test audio basically).

Could you elaborate a little on the gui improvements? Does this impact 
(improve) performance with many gui elements (such as sliders, 
numberboxes etc.)?

Thanks,
Lorenzo
