As for bringing forward Easy Mer, I'm waiting to see what Mer .13 brings. I want to give them one version to sort out what the Fremantle Beta release can give them.
What I am still seeing is the problem with GtkFileChooser, it crashes when OpenOffice invokes it.

dantonic: I usually recommend installing Personal Menu; it makes adding new icons easy. If you want to do it the hard way, you have to make a .desktop file for the application in /usr/share/applications/hildon

You have to add a new item to Personal Menu. The command is "debbie audacity" and the icon can be whatever you want, just choose one 
EDIT: I just ran Audacity on my Ubuntu desktop. There's a place to set your audio input/output under Preferences.

great, thank you was able to create the icon. unfortunately can't get the output source configured. under preferences for 'device playback' it says 'portaudio v19' and when i hit the pull down menu, it gives me no options at all. any ideas?
the error is
' Error while opening sound device. Please check the output device settings and the project sample rate.'

From the Audacity wiki:
Error Initializing or Opening Sound Device:
Portaudio v19 from repository
Error Initializing or Opening Sound Device:
If you receive this error:
"Error opening sound device. Please check the input device settings and the Project Sample Rate" or "Please check the output device settings and the Project Sample Rate"
even when no other device is using the sound card, and your permissions are correct, it simply means there's a problem with your Audacity settings. You may have a sample rate selected that your sound card does not support. You can alter this by changing the Project Rate at the bottom left of the Audacity window. If you receive the "check the input device settings" message, try setting the "recording channels" in the Audio I/O tab of Preferences to mono or stereo, and if you are recording something playing on the computer, turn off "software playthrough".
Portaudio v19 from repository
If you are having issues, try a newer Portaudio snapshot:
- clear audacity-src-1.2.x/lib-src/portaudio-v19/
- download pa_snapshot_v19.tar.gz from http://www.portaudio.com
- untar into directory mentioned above
- go back to audacity-src and run ./configure..., make, make install again
Please post your experiences with Audacity and PortAudio v19 directly to Audacity_PortAudio_v19. As noted there, known issues currently exist with v19 if playing audio with OSS emulation enabled under ALSA.

Hey qole,
thanks so much for your help. This is probably easy but I'm a nub.
I'd like to try to re-install the portaudio v19 as the guide says, but I can't seem to find the directory audacity-src-1.2.x/lib-src/portaudio-v19/
I'm looking using the debian terminal, and even then I am unsure where that directory is. I tried looking for it with a which and find command, but can't find it. I searched through a lot of the directories. is there a better command that would locate it? Or do you know where it would be?

I'll be honest, I really don't know much more than what I posted. If recompiling a package from source is beyond you, then maybe you shouldn't bother. I personally wouldn't bother, since this is supposed to be "Easy" Debian, and that isn't very easy sounding...
I doubt Audacity would perform very well on the tablet, anyway. I tried using it a year ago and it took forever to load an MP3, and it kept crashing... Have you checked to make sure you're recording with a very low sample rate (try 8bitkhz PCM first)?

you're probably right, it's not worth it. Thanks for you help nevertheless, and thanks for easy debian!
