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

[Adam C. Emerson]

Package: cmus
Version: 2.3.4-1
Severity: normal

I agree that libroar should not recommend the sound server.  However,
as I understand it libroar and libpulse are required by plugins loaded
at run-time rather than having cmus statically linked against them.

Would it be reasonable to change from depends to recommends or
suggests, since, if I am correct, cmus would work fine without these
libraries unless you loaded the plugins requiring them?
