I think you're right about not needing sox.  I included sox in the
dependencies because it was distributed in the slimserver package as a
binary.  However, as you say, if all you want is pure serving of files
then it's not needed.  I'll update the dependencies to only include sox
if the sox useflag is set.  Thanks for the feedback!

About the other dependencies (perl modules and mysql): I've tried to
use the versions already installed on the system wherever possible,
especially if binary code is involved.  This is to maintain the Gentoo
philosophy of 'use the source whenvever possible' and to (hopefully)
make the ebuild cross-platform.  I still need to sort out the DBI and
Template-Toolkit dependencies (these are big modules and SlimServer
includes a few extra plugins for each of them, so it's not easy to work
out what's not needed).

Cheers,
Tom
