Lightworks with newest PortAudio incompatibility

Hello everyone.

After latest update of PortAudio to 190600_20161030-1 Lightworks won't run anymore.
A quickfix is to copy older libportaudio*.so* files into /usr/lib/lightworks directory.
 
There is a `lwks` package in AUR which may be simply patched, but @anthrit (the package owner) seems to be absent. He also does not respond to emails.

I think that is better to patch main package instead of making a new one, because `lwks` is well known and most popular, and many users are asking for help with installation.
Can someone patch PKBUILD of `lwks`?

Here is working diff:

Re: Lightworks with newest PortAudio incompatibility

Most common solution workaround  for a non-responding maintainer is to put the updated PKGBUILD on some pastebin site,and post the link in a comment .

Have you tried contacting anthrit throug his website , http://www.anthrit.com/ ?
(found it by checking the domain for his email ).

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

(A works at time B)  && (time C > time B ) ≠  (A works at time C)
