Hi.

Here a first version, it works (I've tested it).

There's a lot of things to backport, so in the next days, I will try to 
change audacious and audacious-plugins build dependencies to avoid 
backporting so many packages. It also needs the libvpx backport which I 
made for chromium.

If anybody can test it or review it.

For testing it, you can use my repository : http://ddb.davromaniak.eu/ 
(deb http://ddb.davromaniak.eu/ squeeze-backports main).

Thanks.
