Thanks for reminding me about apulse. I remember a discussion either on the list or irc recently. I'll try it if it ever gets into the devuan repos or someone builds a deb for me. I haven't tried installing something from source in years and IIRC, wasn't that successful at it. I once built a deb using this tut but I don't know if it's out of date (from 2009).

For the moment, I'll either deal with pulseaudio (disgusting) or maybe try running the windoze version of avidemux in wine, (The Linux qt version is not a pretty sight. Unfortunately, no more gtk version . . . bummer).

My brain if fried . . .
