Is anyone else having problems? I have tried the version from OpenSuse () and the one from Packman () and they both fail to work, although in different ways.
1.2.4b-55 will not play back; it stutters and stalls
1.3.4-2 gives lots of tracing, including failures in pa_linux_alsa.c line 1066 and then fails to play, more error messages and the "Error while opening sound device"
Yes, on a new install today 1.3.4-2 gave these messages - perhaps something to do with portaudio? As Carl said, this version was working earlier, so something must have changed.
1.2.4, however, works OK for me.

The comments above are all on a 32bit laptop. The 64bit versions of Audacity have a different collection of problems, which I may get to later. I tried installing from sources but got the say problems (well actually I had to disable FLAC before it would compile). This is a real pain for me as it is messing the flow of my lectures. This morning I reinstalled Portaudio, but that made no differences either.

My copy of audacity comes from either of these sources (I use smart to do all my updates): ftp://packman.unixheads.com/suse/10.2/i586/ or http://packman.mirrors.skynet.be/pub/packman/suse/10.2/i586/ No compilation, or disabling 'anything', was done here - smart just simply updated everything without a fuss.
