An "Audacity Project" has two parts. There is a small ".AUP" file containing instructions for Audacity, and there is the audio data. By default the audio data will be in the form of many (possibly thousands) of 1 MB "AU" files within sub-folders of a "_data" f...

The "Pa" in, for example, "PaAlsaStream_HandleXrun" refers to PortAudio, not PulseAudio. PortAudio is the software library that handles audio input/output, and is used regardless of which audio system is used. Note that debug messages are not always "errors". Audacity h...
