Your version looks good, though it doesn't mention that objects _underneath_ 
other objects can also be controlled (For example < O > for track)
Not sure if that's too much for an announcement actually. It shouldn't get to 
complicated ;-)

I think by hogging the CPU :-)
But I'll look into it asap.

Don't know. AFAIK each distro has it's own package(s) maintainer, and the 
build system makes automatically packages for all the supported arches.
So it would be very nice to have a Debian/Gentoo/Mandriva etc maintainer who 
will take care of this.

Right now, it would be very nice if my package install and runs on your 
computer.
It installs traverso in /usr/bin, maybe it should be /usr/local/bin ?
IIRC, this is common for custom installs

Sounds like it compiled?
I forgot the libasound linking part, I removed it for os x builds, fix 
uploaded to cvs.

Thanks for the update!
