[linux-audio-user] Specimen and 64 bits software

        Hello.
        I'm about to switch from Debian Sid 32 bits to Gentoo 64 bits. I
have noticed ( http://packages.gentoo.org/search/?sstring=specimen ) that
Specimen isn't provided as a package in Gentoo 64 bits. So I have two
questions :
        - Does the source code of Specimen compile and permits a normally
usable Specimen under a 64 Bits OS ? (and, if it's the case, does anybody
know why there's no gentoo package ? Lack of interest from any developper
or something, as quite any other audio apps seems to be avalaible under
gentoo ?).
        - If I setup a 32 bits chroot under Gentoo 64 bits as it's
documented here :
( http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/amd64/howtos/index.xml?part=1&chap=2
), will Specimen be usable just as a normal jackd-enabled software, with
jackd running in the 64 bits environment ? More generally, when
encountering an audio software which cannot run in 64 bits, how does it
work with 64 bits jackd ?
        Thanks in advance for any enlightenment :).
        Cheers,

Y.
