Ok. But are the c++ sources in common/Util/Clooper/ needed in the final xo?

I did not look closely so did not realize that python-csound is not 
used. Anyway I'd rather keep changes from the XO version at a minimum 
for now and not add extra code. The goal is to get it working first.


One important issue I forgot to mention yesterday: there are no 
licensing headers or copyright files in the sources except in 
Clooper/audio.cpp which comes from ALSA.

Can you when time permits add any kind of copyright notice along the 
source files? It is impossible to upload to either Debian or Ubuntu 
otherwise.

thank you
