Bug Description

Binary package hint: imagination

Imagination should depend on sox for audio playback. A dependency on libsox-fmt-all would be good too since at least libsox-fmt-pulse and libsox-fmt-mp3 might be needed and they don't get installed by default with libsox1a.

It's important since imagination won't check its presence and will fail without giving a clue. Finding the reason audio fails is frustrating and users shouldn't have to deal with this.

Perhaps we could recommend or suggest libsox-fmt-all? What is the exact problem you are experiencing?
