pacpl doesn't work with latest Audio::APETags (patch to use Audio::Scan instead)

[Ryan Thompson]

The latest Audio::APETags perl module is just a wrapper for Audio::Scan, which should be used instead. It does not have the same interface as the old version of Audio::APETags, so pacpl fails when used with it.

I am attaching a patch that makes pacpl use Audio::Scan instead of Audio::APETags, and updates the relevant code to use the new interface.

With this patch, you must add libaudio-scan-perl to the dependencies (and maybe remove libaudio-musepack-perl, unless pacpl uses other modules from that package).

pacpl as of 12.04 (possibly earlier) includes the fix proposed here, so I'm marking this as Fix Released.
