Ok, it's just quite a heavy dependancy for a package which is feasible 
to be installed on very small systems; as you have proved by glib-2.0 
not beiing available in a non-x11 build. In this case I guess the way 
round it would be to split out the alsa-tools packages, but that is also 
a lot of work. The patch is fine and I don't use alsa-tools so I have no 
strong feelings; I just like to keep and eye on and question bloat.

Cheers,
