No. xmms explicitly supports optional stuff. It tries to access those,
but if it fails, the features that need them are simply disabled.
Very nice actually. E.g. if you don't have a 3D card, don't bother
installing the libGL.so.1 thing, because the performance of the
3D bar graph thingy will suck and you end up frustrated :-)
So, these should not be "depends"; they are currently "recommends",
which I feel too strong even ("suggests" might have been better).
