	Given that there’s such a simple workaround, I’ve taken the
	liberty to lower the severity down to normal.

	However, I believe that alsa-oss should /not/ be in Depends:,
	for aylet(1) can also be used on a completely mute system.
	(Think of a file server performing automated .ay to .oga
	conversion, for instance.)

	Suggests: seems to be a safe choice, though.
