Fixes #1148.
This changes Linux/AppImage audio playback to use PortAudio when available, with SDL playback still compiled as a fallback.
Changes
--with-portaudioso it actually setswith_portaudio.--with-portaudio.UsePortaudioPlaybackwhen PortAudio is available.Rationale
The issue reporter confirmed that the AUR build works smoothly because it uses PortAudio, while the AppImage stutters with SDL/PipeWire on their system. Matching the AppImage playback backend to the working AUR path should avoid the SDL/PipeWire behavior while keeping SDL available as fallback. Keeping this as a draft for feedback about whether we actually want to switch the AppImage to PortAudio for better compatibility ?
