Package: rezound
Version: 0.12.2beta-6
Hi!
  I just installed rezound from testing(etch) with aptitude, and when
I run it it says on stdout:
'lame' executable not found in $PATH -- mp3 support will be disabled

It turns out that toolame is installed on the system (by chance) but
does not provide an actual "lame" command.
Another alternative, twolame, doesn't either.

If I create a "lame" symlink to either one of these two, rezound fails
to open any mp3 file, popping up a window saying:

----------------------------------------------------------
file: Love_On_The_Line.mp3
lame command line: '/home/martin/bin/lame --decode "Love_On_The_Line.mp3" -'
error - virtual bool ClameSoundTranslator::onLoadSound(std::string,
CSound*) const
-- it looks as if either there is an error in the input file
-- or lame was not compiled with decoding support (get latest at
http://mp3dev.org)
-- or an error has occuring executing lame
-- or your version of lame has started to output a different wave
file header when decoding MPEG Layer-1,2,3 files to wave files.
Changes will have to be made to this source to handle the new wave
file output
----------------------------------------------------------

I guess the Debian version needs changing to use "mpg123 -s" if lame
is not installed, and to recommend package mpg321 (since mpg123 is an
alternative that may point to a cpu-optimised versions)
... or persuade the upstream maintainer to look for mpg123 if lame is
unavailable.

Bless

   M
