Description Martin Mokrejš 2010-10-10 19:03:01 UTC 
mp3blaster requires OSS drivers or ALSA drivers compiled with OSS-compatible interface. Please make thsi clear in description of the package.

+Text console based program for playing audio files through OSS linux sound interface

that doesnt make sense, the package supports a lot more than OSS, like SDL or esound for backend and alsa through them
I see no reason to start listing this in description, USE flags speak for themself
Comment 2 Martin Mokrejš 2010-10-29 19:34:42 UTC 
My objection was what is the requirement on the kernel API side, and there is only OSS and nowadays ALSA provided, optionally with OSS-backwards compatible interface.
