Package: shortwave Followup-For: Bug #1103551 Thanks! While the original issue was quickly fixed, I got stuck a few more times and it turned out this time indeed due to missing dependencies. Just for completeness and on the off chance it may be of help to someone, here's how I got it working. For one thing, shortwave requires PulseAudio, for those who don't yet have it that's the obvious route.
If PA isn't wanted, wrapping it in apulse also works. But then in addition one wants gstreamer1.0-alsa apulse In any case, for AAC-encoded streams gstreamer1.0-fdkaac libfdk-aac2 is required as well. That about did it, highly requested app. Oliver
