Sure it's capable of non-interactive uses as well, but watching a live
stream is the main application. That said, I never intended to exclude
non-x86 users - I run Debian on ppc and alpha myself. I wanted to know if
it was okay to deviate from policy in order to not exclude _x86_ users.
Well, the only issue remaining, that if I only build a libdv-dev on x86,
I'd like to keep it consistent across platform and provide a static lib
only even on archs where the shared lib isn't broken. But that's a minor
problem in my opinion. The policy violation being the main issue.
Best regards,
Daniel.
