->I think audacity uses the OSS emulation layer of
ALSA, maybe there is a
new "feature" (bug?) in the newest ALSA that breaks emulation for the
HDSP?
What sort of message do you get on startup?

That's just it - there is no startup. It just hangs there with no message or any
activity at all - until you interrupt the process or kill it in another shell.
That could mean that something else is using the OSS devices and
audacity is just waiting for them to become free. Try to see if
something is using /dev/dsp by doing a:
fuser /dev/dsp
(in a terminal)
I'm going to try downgrading to the "latest
stable release" (which is earlier than
the 1.1-3 version on planetccrma) when the audacity site is back up
That will probably not help...
- where did the ccrma audacity come from?
From the audacity site. It was the "unstable"
version which is now
getting ready for 1.2 status (I have to upgrade to the latest
version).
