I usually don't copy updates to ports@, but since this PR was in the suspended 
state for a while, the follow-up to ports-bugs@ could have easily been 
missed...

Should be ready to go whenever a committer can take care of it.

Thanks!

Craig

Subject: Re: ports/74141: Upgrade Audacity to version 1.2.3

Updated patch is below, it makes the following changes to the port:

    * Upgrade to 1.2.3
    * Install the on-line help regardless of NOPORTDOCS
      This is more consistent with the behavior of manpages, etc.
    * On 5.x, work around a stack alignment bug in libc that causes bus
      errors on Pentium 4s.  See this thread for more details:
     
 http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=181293+0+/usr/local/www/db/text
/2004/freebsd-hackers/20041128.freebsd-hackers Once that or another fix is
 merged, SSE can be re-enabled for
      this port in 5.4+
    * Audacity attempts to increase the relative priority of its audio
      output thread, however it assumes that the Linuxism of each thread
      having a different PID, which does not have the desired effect.
      Change this to use the pthreads API instead.

Please treat this as equivalent to a [maintainer-update].  Thanks to
Phil Oleson and everybody else who kept bugging me to get all this fixed
