Package: audacity
Version: 1.3.6-2
Severity: wishlist

Hi all,

since upstream version 1.3.6, audacity has added support for import 
and export via ffmpeg. However, according to the configure script, 
audacity expects libavcodec.so.51.53 while the version of ffmpeg 
currently in Debian unstable (0.svn20080206-15) provides 
libavcodec.so.51.50.

Let's add ffmpeg support to the audacity package in Debian as soon as 
a new enough ffmpeg snapshot has made it into unstable. The required 
change should be adding libav{codec,format}-dev to the build-depends 
and adding --with-ffmpeg=system to the configure flags.

Cheers,
Fabian
