I've just started to compile, but I receive the following error:

> In member function ‘virtual bool RtApiAlsa::probeDeviceOpen(int, RtApi::StreamMode, int, int, RtAudio3Format, int*, int)’:

I'm running Debian SID, so I've tried to look for something like RtAudio
(aptitude search rt |grep audio) and I've installed libarts1-audiofile
libportaudio-dev, but it still doesn't work. How can I figure out the
problem?

I think that with my 140 Gb music library it will take the all night! :D

I'm curious to see how it works!

Cool!

Just the time to make it work and I'll send you a feedback!
