dear jan jacob -

you can try
	sudo apt-get install portaudio19-dev
and see if this solves the problem.

in general, i'd recommenc to use jack, which in turn uses alsa.

glad it helped!  for me, jack1 or jack2 does not make a difference.  but 
if you desperately need jack2, it should work just installing it again.

let's make a jack-for-csound page anywhere in the csound github wiki,
