Bug#733969: ardour3: FTBFS when built against libaubio4

[Niels Thykier]

Hi,

Adding Paul Brossier to CC, since he maintains aubio and uploaded the
version with the API bump.  Paul, please see/comment Adrian's mail below.

>From my point of view (i.e. with my release hat on), I am fine with
either resolution the two of you come up with as long as the build
failure here is resolved and aubio's transition is finished.
