I've been testing Csound5 which supports PortAudio (among other audio
systems). IMO it's a great solution as a cross-platform audio system,
but it works best with a native backend (ALSA, ASIO). Audio latency in
Csound is negligible when I use PortAudio with its ALSA backend, not so
good when I use PortAudio's direct interface.
Csound5 has also recently integrated PortMIDI. Amazing work coming from
Istvan Varga on Csound5 these days. JACK support is here ! :)
Best,
