Thanks to the Debian Perl Team, we now have a recent Nama in Debian. It is available through 'sid', the Debian "unstable" distribution. So if that's what you're running, you can experiment with Nama by doing a simple 'apt-get install nama'. Even, if you're running a different version of Debian, you can still install Nama by running 'cpanm Audio::Nama' as an unprivileged user, which will install Nama and its dependencies under $HOME/perl5. In that case, you may need to run 'perl -Mlocal::lib >> .bashrc' to setup your environment. About Nama Nama is a digital audio workstation. It is suitable for multitrack recording, effects-processing, editing, mixing, and other audio tasks. Nama uses Ecasound, developed by Kai Vehmanen, for audio processing. Nama hosts LADSPA and LV2 plugins, Ecasound effects and controllers. It works well under JACK and ALSA. -- Joel Roth
