TamTam packaging

[Olivier Bélanger]

Hi Jani,

First of all, our main goal is to make TamTam runs on the XO. We  
didn't think yet about porting it to others system...

At the beginning we TamTam was only one activity with a welcome  
screen to choose which component to play with. When we were aksed to  
spilt the activities it was the simplest way for us to manage all  
activities from one git tree. But all sounds and common images are  
located only inside TamTamEdit.

Always the latest... even though i'm on the way to make major changes  
in the way TamTam handle resources (mic recording, synthlab  
sounds...) to respect OLPC security policy. These changes will  
complicate once more the port to others system...

I don't think using the aclient is the better way to make it work on  
Debian. This client was build very tight to save cpu cycles on the  
XO. The better way is to use the Python API for Csound... (with the  
API, don't forget to remove -n flag (no sound) in tamtamorc.csd).  
Maybe James can tell you more about aclient.so  
( james.bergstra at umontreal.ca )

Thanks for trying to make it works on Debian!
