Make sure that your .multitrack/prefs file ends with something like
this:
#=========================================================
# Audio buffers section
#=========================================================
o_nr_buffers = 10
i_nr_buffers = 10
The default is set to 0 and MT will immediately segfault unless you set
the buffers to some figure > 0.
Btw, I'm currently unable to run it because the binary wants SVGA libs
compiled under libc5. Do you happen to have libvga.so.1 and
libvgagl.so.1 in libc5 versions ? I'd like to obtain them again.

The licensing is messed up. My last correspondence with Boris took place
more than a year ago, and at that time he indicated that he intended to
place the binary and sources under the GPL. Then he completely
disappeared. I've had no luck contacting him since then. I don't even
know if he's still wearing the mortal coil.

Well, if I can get the libvga stuff it should run fine.

We can only pray... ;)
