Package: shortwave
Followup-For: Bug #1103551

Thanks! While the original issue was quickly fixed, I got stuck a few
more times and it turned out this time indeed due to missing
dependencies. Just for completeness and on the off chance it may be of
help to someone, here's how I got it working. For one thing, shortwave
requires PulseAudio, for those who don't yet have it that's the obvious
route.

If PA isn't wanted, wrapping it in apulse also works. But then in
addition one wants

    gstreamer1.0-alsa
    apulse

In any case, for AAC-encoded streams

    gstreamer1.0-fdkaac
    libfdk-aac2

is required as well. That about did it, highly requested app.
