Builds fine here. I've just added tarballs and build-area symlinks.

Thanks for sorting this out !

Emil, the lib/ directory has been removed from kiax 0.8.5 tarball since it 
contains either non-free code [1] or duplicas libraries which have already 
being packaged for Debian. I hope that is fine with you.

It is not kiax alone which links against libraries of this sort, there are 
many such projects around, but seems kiax is the only one distributing lib 
with itself. Bear in mind that you are not allowed to modify the original 
source code for lib/portaudio and lib/portmixer without contributing back to 
the original author.

I'm still concerned if any impact will manifest after cleaning the non-free 
bits out since I'm pretty sure that we are the only testers of that 
particular _free_ tarball.
