Okay.

I built the package without any buildlinks or dependencies at first. But
it still was built linked to a few audio libraries. So I really don't know
how to build without them since I never asked for them in the first place.

I guess that is due to the bloat of gnome, gtk and family. I see that the
configure/makefile used:
 /usr/X11R6/bin/gnome-config --libs-only-l gnome

Which gives:

-lgnome -lgnomesupport -lesd -lossaudio -laudiofile -lm -lglib -lintl

I don't know this gnome-config. I am guessing that it can be used (and
built) without the "-lesd -lossaudio -laudiofile"

Any examples I should look at?
