I use oss4, so I don't want to have any alsa-packages on my system. avidemux-2.4.4 works without alsa. So please make the alsa-dependency optional.

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Rafał Mużyło 2009-10-23 22:11:24 UTC 
This will probably be INVALID - AFAIK, oss4 is overlay only.
Comment 2 Ben de Groot (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-10-28 22:06:59 UTC 
OSS only works through the alsa-oss compatibility layer. If you want that changed, take it up with the upstream avidemux developers.
