stdint.h is part of the new C-language standard (C99). The original C89
standard specifies 15 standard headers, C95 adds three more and the C99
yet more six. stdint.h is one of these six. Previously there was no
platform indepedent way to declare explicit-length variables like
uint32_t, etc. On most (?) Unix/POSIX systems these are declared in
<sys/types.h> and that's why the above works on FreeBSD.

Yup, this is probably the best fix. I'll commit this to CVS.

It seems that I have already made this change in both ecasound-2.0
and 2.1 CVS-trees. So 'st_gid == getegid()' is not enforced anymore.

Is this handled similarly for other freebsd-ports of Qt2 apps (ie. no need
to change anything in ecawave ;))?
