Package: lastfm
Version: 1:1.3.0.58-1
Severity: normal

Last.fm allows me to select from physical audio devices
only. It means that last.fm is incompatible with any sound
server, including dmix. By default the device named
"default" should be used. Users can configure the default
quite flexibly in their .asoundrc, for example I am using
the pulse plugin for alsa, which provides PulseAudio
compatibility for any ALSA program. PulseAudio in turn
passes the audio data to JACK, so every ALSA program now has
JACK compatibility too ... if only they wouldn't think they
are the only sound program in the world and hog the sound
card for themselves.

In #354405 it was stated that last.fm uses the RtAudio
library instead of direct ALSA access, but the only audio
library in the dependency list is libasound2, which leads me
to believe the statement isn't true.
