Bug Description

Binary package hint: festival

Since OSS compatibility is not a requirement and there is a suggested configuration in README.Debian for ALSA based systems:

"We recommend that you use alsa. The example of festivalrc is provided below

  (Parameter.set 'Audio_Command "aplay -q -c 1 -t raw -f s16 -r $SR $FILE")
  (Parameter.set 'Audio_Method 'Audio_Command)"

The OSS compatibility stuff should be recommends not depends.

Removed Festival so I could update some of the other related stuff without having to pull in the alsa-oss compatibility modules.

Upon doing so had to remove plasma-widget-translatoid because it depends on Festival.

Thank you for reporting this issue.

In Natty Narwhal, festival depends on both "alsa-oss", "alsa-utils" and "oss-compat". Since the requirement is to use alsa, this does appear to conflict with the requirements.

Request the depends be made a recommends for "alsa-oss" and "oss-compat".
