Yes. BTW: have a look here:
http://www.portaudio.com/docs/proposals/status.html
this should support jack, alsa, oss, so its definitely a
good thing, and also non linux systems (sgi, mac, windows).
I unfortunately do not have the time to look on the api
specs and sample implementations, but i'm sure, if u create
such an high portable api, you'll sacrifice some of teh
native apis advanced features.
I'm too unexperienced to read the API.
I know that audacity uses portaudio to make it a cross
platform application. So, it's certainly a good idea, but
unfortunately, portaudio is even not a soundserver but an
audio abstraction layer.
I'm not looking for a cross platform layer but at first at a
common unix audio server.
As soon as we have one, then it might be a good idea to move
portaudio as a further layer between audio applications and
the new layer to make them possibly compile cross platform.
