Bug#612887: cmus: please avoid the dependency on several sound servers

[Paul Menzel]

Subject: cmus: roaraudio too much
Package: cmus
Version: 2.3.3-4
Severity: normal


Dear Debian folks,


upgrading to DebPkg:cmus 2.3.3-4 installed DebPkg:libroar1 as a dependency [1]

	* Add RoarOutput plugin (Closes: #609202), thanks to
		Philipp Schafft <lion at lion.leolix.org> for the patch.

which in turn pulled in DebPkg:libdnet.

	$ apt-cache rdepends libdnet
	libdnet
	Reverse Depends:
		roaraudio
		roaraudio-extra
		libroar1
		libroar0
		libroar-dev
		libroar-compat1
		libroar-compat0
		libmuroar0
		libdnet-dev
		dnet-progs

I already have DebPkg:pulseaudio installed, so I guess I do not need a second sound server. (If I understood something incorrectly about the purpose of PulseAudio and RoarAudio please tell me and close the report.)

To avoid that dependency could you please package the RoarAudio plugin separately in for example DebPkg:cmus-plugin-roaraudio.

I am putting Philipp in CC because he is the author of the patch.


Thanks,

Paul
