GNU Octave sound() - 'portaudio not found'

I'm trying to play sound from octave and it tells me I don't have portaudio:

>> sound(snd, rate)
error: portaudio not found on your system and thus audio functionality is not present
error: called from
    audioplayer at line 105 column 19
    sound at line 57 column 8

but I actually have portaudio installed, so I don't know what this is about.

Hi,

I checked on the GNU Octave forum, apparently octave-4.0 has to be compiled with a portaudio switch.

Is it intentional that octave is not compiled with this switch in the repo?
