 hi-
 
     so the high-level issue that concerns me is that we used to
 have an 'auto/mpg321' package that worked fine out of the box,
 and now mpg321 no longer works out of the box.
 
     speaking as a user, all i care about is the mpg321 application
 working when i install it...  I don't care about libao or what options 
 it installs, as long as my appliations work by default i am happy.
 
     even if there was a MESSAGE (that would scroll unread off my 
 screen), the current config asks us lazy pkgsrc users to think too 
 much rather than providing a reasonable default working mpg321 
 application.
