Forward compatibility issue building PyAudio (installing old portaudio19-dev removes jackd2)

[Poikilos]

PyAudio (compiling, which is required for a version that doesn't have wheels for your platform) requires old header files, and installing the package on linux removes newer features (jackd2 etc).

Outdated C code in PyAudio is probably the cause of this, so this issue may have to be reported to PyAudio.

I'm not sure if this is specific to using the kxstudio repo with Linux Mint 21.3, but that's what I was using. portaudio.h is required to build PyAudio. pip install triggers building the optimized c portion of it from source since PyPI does not have a precompiled wheel for PyAudio for Python 3.10.12 64-bit on Linux. To get portaudio.h, installing portaudio19-dev is necessary (unless downloading the source manually). Running sudo apt install portaudio19-dev causes:

The following additional packages will be installed:
  libjack-dev libjack0 libportaudiocpp0
Suggested packages:
  jackd1 portaudio19-doc
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  libasound2-plugins:i386 libjack-jackd2-0 libjack-jackd2-0:i386 wine-stable wine-stable-i386:i386 winehq-stable
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libjack-dev libjack0 libportaudiocpp0 portaudio19-dev

The PR does not solve this, but adds a links to this issue under Linux instructions in the readme. I can look into this further as the issue seems to be in PyAudio itself. The PR resolves the issue now.

Ok, apparently this can be solved by changing my Linux install instructions:

install libjack-jackd2-dev before installing portaudio19-dev.

I also tested adding it into the same apt command, and that works as well (There is no need to install it separately beforehand).
