good stuff! Thanks!

I guess apart from audacity, (sometimes) ardour, csound and (sometimes)
supercollider all of the above are fairly low-maintenance.

About audacity: I have not yet found the energy to work on that package
again, as it requires switching to cmake (which introduces more bugs)
and potentially switching to a custom wxgtk3/wxwidgets version (only for
audacity!) that is a fork of the development version (to have an actual
"stable" package, as upstream neither supports the stable nor the
development version of wxgtk3 - that's pretty painful).
I have opened a few issues on their github issue tracker irt all that.

About csound: Upstream has moved a few of the opcodes to a separate
repository. Maybe worth checking it out to get back Python support, etc.

About supercollider: Upstream uses git-flow and sometimes fixes get
swallowed up (not cherry-picked onto a release branch) when a fix was
committed towards their develop branch. Other than that, it has become
much more reliable to build over the years!

Anyways, thanks! :)
