It might be a good idea for mobile phones, but I doubt that it becomes
usable soon for Linux audio and maybe it never would fit our

Just for Sonic Visualiser it could be avoided by

  git checkout abcdef1

IOW by just compiling a dedicated commit from git, but it much likely
would break other software sharing the same dependency.
