Snd is a sound editor modelled loosely after Emacs. It is highly
-programmable, supports a variety of audio and sample file formats,
-includes a complete implementation of Common Lisp Music (CLM), and
-can be run sans GUI as a scripting engine.
+programmable, supports a variety of audio and sample file formats, includes a
+complete implementation of Common Lisp Music (CLM), can be run sans GUI as a
+scripting engine, and more.
-This script build against the Motif toolkit primarily because
-Snd's GTK+ interface doesn't seem as well-tested (tending to crash
-unexpectedly on this maintainer's x86_64 machines), but also because
-it supports OpenGL rendering of spectrograms.
+This SlackBuild configures Snd to use Scheme (s7), ALSA, and the Motif, as
+these are currently the best supported (and tested) options for Snd. Slackare
+14.2 includes Motif and the GNU Scientific Library (gsl), so these
+dependencies can now be the preferred defaults for Snd.
-Comment out the "--with-gl" line in snd.SlackBuild if you don't want this.
+OpenGL rendering of spectrograms under Motif can also enabled by passing
+"--with-gl" to configure in snd.SlackBuild.
