audio/faad depends on sdl, why ?

[Ingmar Gebert]

Hi all,

I do not quite understand this dependency. In the porters handbook it says 
that if the USE_SDL macro is used "the port uses SDL for building and 
running". I just tested and that is not true - I can build and run faad2 
without sdl just fine.

The reason I ask is, I'd like to keep sdl off my system as it is a low-spec 
audio-only jukebox with no need for the sdl dependency chain. Wouldn't it be 
more correct to make sdl optional ?


Kind regards,
Ingmar Gebert
