DeaDBeeF for Debian
-------------------
DeaDBeeF is a plugin-based system.  However, only some of the officially
distributed plugins are packaged for Debian.

  – The aac, alac, alsa, artwork, cdda, converter, ddb_gui_GTK2, ddb_gui_GTK3,
    ddb_mono2stereo, dsp_libsrc, ffmpeg, flac, hotkeys, lastfm, m3u, mpgmad,
    notify, nullout, oss, pltbrowser_gtk2, pltbrowser_gtk3, pulse, shellexec,
    shellexecui_gtk2, shellexecui_gtk3, sndfile, supereq, tta, vfs_curl, vorbis,
    vtx, and wavpack plugins have no licensing or policy issues, and I’ve built
    them.

  – The adplug, dca, dumb, ffap, gme, mms, musepack, shn, sid, wildmidi, and wma
    plugins currently run afoul of the binary duplication policy (DPM §4.13) and
    are thus not yet packaged.

  – The vfs_zip plugin triggers a Lintian warning about hardening flags.  Until
    I’ve determined why this is a problem, I’ve disabled it.

  – The coreaudio plugin is useless on Debian systems, so it’s not built.

  – Two plugins – ddb_ao and shn – rely on source which cannot be redistributed
    under the DFSG.  I’ve cleaned the offending sources from the tree, which is
    why DeaDBeeF releases have a +dfsg tag.
