Yea, theres definitely still kinks to "iron out". The audio stuff seems
to actually be missing from the installer. That will be an interesting
one to figure out...

I should have been more specific about the slider. My head is somewhere
else. So, Ive had trouble getting a good installer for pyqwt. The one of
the main website might be ok, but its python26. So, I have found random
ones on the internet. But, I have only found one that *actually* works
(makes it past the import statement). Unfortunately, the sliders were
messed up (missing API calls). I think you might have re-discovered that
installer (or possibly a better one):

If you open GRC, change the flowgraph type to QTGUI, and try to generate
with a qtgui slider (I think this is called the qtgui range block), do
you get an error at flowgraph runtime?

FWIW, I was able to get past this qwt issue by building pyqwt from
source. I just wish I knew an easy way to package it though...

In regards to cygwin... you may have more luck with a native build IMHO.
I think cygwin is more of a haste, particularly if you want some of the
GUI stuff. Anyway MSVC 2010 express is free, and I have heard of people
having success with these instructions here:
