RPM doesn't handle it well - it blindly removes ESD and installs portaudio leaving gnome broken due to lack of shared libraries.
Any EL5 build of port audio must not package the /usr/bin/esd compatibility script and must not obsolete ESD. Then it installs just fine, I've done it.

I see that portaudio was branched for EL-5, but it doesn't appear that any builds were done. Is there are reason that I shouldn't update the branch to v19 and issue a build? I'd like to test building of Asterisk 1.6 on EL-5 and there is a modules that makes use of portaudio. The module is optional, but it'd be nice to keep the spec files in sync with Fedora without a lot of %if magic.
