Note that there is a freeness concern with the new upstream version,
under new ownership AIUI - as shipped by upstream the code will phone
home to a third party without the user opting in to this behavior.
Please do not package the new upstream version of audacity for Ubuntu
without addressing this (preferably with Debian maintainer involvement).

  FFmpeg 5.0 changed the API and it required a big patch for audacity:
  https://github.com/audacity/audacity/pull/3121/files

  Note that patch is on top of master, and Debian/Ubuntu still carry old
  version 2.4.2. To fix this, the package needs to be first updated to
  3.1.3 (or later), and then have that patch applied.

  Upstream issue (now resolved): https://github.com/audacity/audacity/issues/2445
  Debian RC bug: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1004598

  audacity was removed from debian testing today:
