I certainly won't deny anything Brian has said re:git and GitHub. For my
immediate problem of audition controls, (1) thanks for the fix Fred (2)
since I don't want to dive into cvs, can someone please attach a diff from
which I can manually patch the 2.8.1 source? Provided it's not too much
code, or too complicated, I'd like to do that rather than wait for a new
release (though that's my other option).

Thanks,
