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).
