Bug#986440: Please consider Recommends: gstreamer1.0-libav on libfaudio0
Package: faudio
Version: 21.02-1
Dear maintainer,
The WMA codec is critical to many games that rely on FAudio, which (in
recent versions) depends on GStreamer to handle that codec.
https://github.com/FNA-XNA/FAudio/commit/7f52bfb66b73cca2522537f45977886958a06324
Unfortunately, the GStreamer plugin that provides that codec is not
installed by default, which leaves gamers with broken sound and no obvious
path to fix it. Also, folks who upgrade from an older libfaudio0 package
may find their formerly-working games suddenly without sound.
Adding Recommends: gstreamer1.0-libav to the libfaudio0 package would be
helpful here. Would you please consider it?
