> I tested the patch on Ubuntu 14.04, but the running audacity process crashes
> when a second audacity process is launched
Hi Benjamin,

I can't reproduce that on Ubuntu 14.04 in a release build of Audacity.
Did you patch a debug build? What are the exact steps by which you
opened a second process? I tried from the command-line and some "Open
with" with audio files.

And did you modify the patch to use /var/run instead, if so were you root? 
I can't see the value of using a path for the sockets file that requires root. That is probably why var/run was not chosen.

Also I was surprised my self-built Audacity on 14.04 has no file
associations (not even AUP). Moreover I can't use Nautilus Properties
(in Unity Shell) to add Audacity associations for MP3, WAV etc. because
my local install of Audacity isn't listed. I had to install Ubuntu-Tweak
to set an association. Is that a bug in Ubuntu or Audacity? I don't have
that problem in Ubuntu 13.10.

  Opening a second file from a file manager when audacity is already open gives an error about not being able to open two instances of audacity.
  Should instead open a new window as would happen if using File -> Open
