I'm one of the two main developers of Brain Workshop.  The avbin
dependency of BW is optional; without avbin, BW can only play .wav files
(which includes all of the critical sounds) and not other formats like
Vorbis in .ogg (for music).  The music should probably either be
stripped out or at least moved into a separate package and put in
Multiverse, since there may be some copyright issues with the music.

Also, many users of Ubuntu (at least of version 9.10) have reported
audio issues with BW, which seem to stem from Ubuntu's implementation of
pulseaudio.  I have not seen any or many complaints of similar problems
on other distributions.  These bugs should probably be investigated and
hopefully fixed before Brain Workshop is added to the official
repositories.

That said, I'd be happy to make a package for Ubuntu.  I'll have to
change a few things in the source code to make resource file and user
data access more portable, but I'll try to do that and build a package
soonish.
