[gregory hainaut]

Package: libportaudio2
Version: 19+svn20110302-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

Could you please consider to support multi-arch in portaudio package.
In the short term, add the "Multi-Arch: foreign" control for
libportaudio2 and libportaudiocpp0 [0]. If you need an example, maybe
you can look to the package tzdata.

In the long term switch to a full muti-arch. I'm not sure gcc&co
already support the new path. Moreover the triplet value is not yet
frozen.
1/ control -> "Multi-Arch: same"
2/ move lib to /usr/lib/triplet/. Triplet spec is not yet
frozen, it could be $(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE) or another tupple spec [1].

The rational behinds this update: I'm currently a dev of PCSX2
(playstation 2 emulator) which is only 32bits compatible due to various
dynamic recompiler. For the moment there is no easy way for PCSX2 users
to install the 32bits portaudio version on amd64 system. Besides it
would ease the futur integration of PCSX2 in Debian.

Thanks for your attention.
Best Regards,
Gregory
