[LAU] Audacity on Ubuntu 14.04 is REALLY unstable

Hi folks, I took Audacity out of apt and wow is it unstable. Constantly hanging. At least it is able to recover most of the time after a restart - except for once last night where I lost my LP rip. It was bearable before then but now I want a better solution. Is anyone else having this problem? Any solution in mind? Should I pull down one of the daily builds from Audacity and try it? Or build from source or something? My Ubuntu is fully updated. I was also thinking of trying CentOS7 to see how that does. thanks, -Alan -- "Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV" - Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food"
