I know what you mean.

I've talked with the author of the PortAudio bindings and we're planning on including a static lib with the repo instead (along with a cargo build script), so that should hopefully make it as easy to use as any other crate.

Could a config option be used to make the bindings still use the system's portaudio if it's already there? Or will it actually check if portaudio is installed before building its own?

Hopefully this is doable! I believe Jeremy's currently having a go at getting a build script working that will:

1. check if PA is already installed 2. if not, will download and install PA.
