|
| audiofile-0.2.3-9.tar.bz2   -- CyGNOME version
| audiofile-0.2.6-1.tar.bz2   -- Cygwin version

Thanks for pointing this out.  I wonder if just cp
/usr/bin/cygaudiofile-0.dll /usr/bin/cygaudiofile.dll would also work,
as the API itself hasn't changed, just how the dll was built (i.e.
different versions of libtool).

You should know that there are currently efforts to get Gnome 2.6
included in the Cygwin distro; for those interested, the discussion is
on cygwin-apps.
