Edit PerfectSetup wiki, Audacity works with ALSA

[mariodebian]

Adacity works with ALSA.

In preferences, I have selected "ALSA:default" as input/output.

My /.asoundrc

pcm.!default {
    type pulse
}
ctl.!default {
    type pulse
}

It's a wiki.... feel free to make the changes. This is due to patches from Fedora's Kevin Koffler (going from memory so the name and/or spelling is almost certainly wrong!) to make the portaudio libraries alsa subsystem not rely on mmap IIRC. This patch has been included in Fedora, Mandriva and will be in the upcoming Ubuntu too I believe.

I'm using Debian SID/unstable, versions:

• audacity 1.3.6-3
• pulseaudio 0.9.10-3
• kernel 2.6.26
• alsa-base 1.0.17

Patch is applied since 2 versions:

audacity (1.3.6-1)
  .....
  * Add pulseaudio patch (thanks to David Henningsson)
  .....

Patch avalaible at: http://patch-tracking.debian.net/patch/series/view/audacity/1.3.6-3/pulseaudio.patch
