That sounds exactly what I would like to do!  I'm having some issues

installing Specimen though...
"Package samplerate was not found in the pkg-config search path.

Perhaps you should add the directory containing 'samplerate.pc' to the

PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

No package 'samplerate' found
configure: error: Library requirements (gtk+-2.0 libxml-2.0 jack alsa

samplerate sndfile phat) not met; consider adjusting the

PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a

nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them."
I apologize if this is not the right place to be asking about this...

I suppose now you can tell how much of a Linux newbie I actually am...
