Package: pidgin
Version: 2.10.10-1.1
Severity: minor
Usertags: pca.it-communication

Hi there,

I was quite surprised to find out that in a default minimal installation
(i.e. without any DE and Recommends:) Pidgin relies on OSS as the
default audio subsystem.  AFAIK Debian choose to primarily rely on ALSA,
which means that gstreamer0.10-alsa should *at least* be in the
Suggests: list.

Similarly, I was not able to have any video call without
gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg, which also means that the latter should *at least*
be in the Suggests: list as well.

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
