Description Brice Arnould (un_brice) 2005-10-04 09:47:06 UTC 
I think that media-libs/libsdl should not depend on media-libs/audiofile if   
the noaudio useflag is set.   
I know it's a little thing (so the priority), but I try to reduce dependencies  
to install a game server on my headless system and think it would be nicer 
without this lib.

I don't understand why libsdl depends on audiofile at all, even with sound enabled.

ldd output for /usr/lib64/libSDL.so doesn't mention libaudiofile, and indeed there's no occurence of the words "audiofile", "libaudiofile" or "laudiofile" in the unpacked SDL-1.2.15 source.  (Confirmed with grep -Fw.)

This matters because audiofile is buggy: see
