It does work out of the box for most users. While it cannot be guaranteed
that there are no possible cases when the old 4.x version works but 5.x
does not, it is not fair to dump the new release just because one such
case was found. Csound 5 does fix many problems and limitations, and it
adds useful new functionality; for example, support for JACK is now
basically a requirement for any Linux sound application, yet the standard
4.23 distribution does not have it.
