Greetings

I'm trying to get some open source audio software running on my Mac (2002 G4 933, OS X 
10.2.3, fink 0.5.0a.cvs, Dec 2002 Developer Tools).

I have successfully installed the xmms software using fink. It runs well under the 
Apple x11 package. I have also successfully downloaded, compiled, and installed the 
"non-fink" xmms-shn-2.2.7 xmms plug-in software from 

  <http://www.etree.org/shnutils/xmms-shn/>
  
This software enables me to play .shn sound files directly in xmms without having to 
first decompress them to aiff or wav. Works great. 

Now I'm trying to get the sndstretch xmms plug-in software, which is at

  <http://www.geocities.com/harpin_floh/sndstretch_page.html>
  
to compile. But it won't. It fails when looking for sys/soundcard.h:


-----BEGIN INCLUDED MATERIAL-----

[219cpe038:~/sndstretch_xmms] fbparker% make clean
rm -f *~ ; rm -f *.o ; rm -f *.so *.lo
[219cpe038:~/sndstretch_xmms] fbparker% make

A google search found this:

This article, from March 2002, basically says that I can't compile anything on my Mac 
that uses soundcard.h. Is this still the case? There is mention of "Darwin Free 
Audio", and there is this page at sourceforge:

  <http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnu-darwin/> 

which has a link to a "Darwin Free Audio" task:

  
<http://sourceforge.net/pm/task.php?group_project_id=10903&group_id=15543&func=browse>

But apparently nothing is going on in the world of "Darwin Free Audio". Shame :(

This is all I've found that addresses this issue. Is this capability likely to ever be 
added to the world of open source Mac software? Is there a way to get around this 
problem, short of running Linux on a PC? ;)
