I don't particularly want to add another mandatory dependency to ices2, but we 
could do it optionally (as all the audio-input modules currently are, so this 
is just adding a new one, and keeping the old ones for systems where they 
work). This just requires a little bit of autoconf trickery to get right.

If you want to add portaudio support to ices in this way, that would be 
excellent - I look forward to getting a patch from you!

I'm less sure about 'audiocompress'. Perhaps a general-purpose (possibly using 
LADSPA, or something else) audio-manipulation pipeline, to which 
AudioCompress could be one option?
