To see the results of loading LAME, I think you need to open and close Preferen...

Somewhere in that summary, add a tab that points to external software. All Steve's stuff, the links to SoundFlower, Lame, FFMpeg, etc. By tab do you mean a div? There are no tabs in the released manual and it would be hackage to add them. For the last two in your list a front page ...

Somewhere in that summary, add a tab that points to external software. All Steve's stuff, the links to SoundFlower, Lame, FFMpeg, etc. This should not be a "you just have to know" exercise. Where is the tab for downloading and installing Audacity? That's actually an Easter ...
