Unpacked source from audacity-minsrc-2.0.6.tar.xz $ ./configure --disable-dynamic-loading $ make $ sudo checkinstall make install The problem building was probably due to missing header files for dependencies. If you want to have another go at building, run this before you start so as to pull in th...

OK, try this as an experiment: Record something (anything recognisable - it could be you counting seconds) for exactly 1 minute, then press the spacebar to stop the recording. How long is the recording in Audacity? Play the recording back and time it. How long does the playback last? Does it sound n...
