I'll test it in a minute, just a quick few questions:

Why here and not (also) in lib/audio/Imakefile? Just curious.

A cursory review tells me that you implemented what I planned to do. :-)

Why did you revert my change to add defined(DarwinArchitecture)?

Since my tests showed that defined(LinuxArchitecture) is _not_ needed on my
linux box, why did you keep it? I kept it to be defensive about not breaking
the setup that some time ago seemed to have needed this...
