man page says audiodriver sdl works, but doesn't

Binary package hint: mp3blaster

The man page of mp3blaster mentions the possibility to use 'sdl' as a sound driver. If you try, you get:

user@host:~$ mp3blaster
In config file, line 0001: Bad Value

could be a wrongly set compiler switch

Same problem here. According to the project site, alsa is indeed supported (check this http://mp3blaster.sourceforge.net/#faq). However, those instructions do not work. If I follow them I got:

$ mp3blaster
In config file, line 0001: Bad Value

My guess is the version on the repos has not been compiled properly since alsa support (sdl) is not available. As far as I my tests, it looks like the default driver is OSS, but it is not possible to configure it to alsa:

$ mp3blaster --debug

$ more .mp3blaster

I downloaded the source from the homepage and compiled it manually. If I got libsdl-dev installed, SDL support is correctly compiled in. Now, I just need to figure out where those dependencies are managed in launchpad, because that should be a no-brainer to fix (means: even I could do it) :-)

Ok, simple one, I also checked the build using pbuilder. I installed the package I created on my local system and it works fine.
