The relatively new fork of the great buzz-clone Aldrin from paniq is quite easy to install using these instructions. Problem is: On my desktop computer with onboard sound it refuses to detect any audio device, which results in no sound. That is not an acceptable problem for music software.
The solution I found was to install qjackctl, a QT-frontend for launching and configuring the JACK Audio Connection Kit and using JACK as an intermediate layer between the actual ALSA audio drivers and neil-sequencer. Downside is, that this way a certain amount of computing resources is already wasted in JACK, but at least this way you can hear sound. Oh and also you have to run both qjackctl and neil as superuser (sudo qjackctl; sudo neil). This is a problem I strangely first encountered when trying this method in the new release Ubuntu 10.4.
Anyways, hopes this helps anyone who was getting all these "RtAudio::Api...shit" spam exception messages when running neil.
