Comment 3 for bug 367708

I too am having the same problem with performous in the repos. The sound will not work in the practice and i cannot use the start at all. If I press 's' it just hangs forever. When I tried to install the deb from the performous guys, I got an error saying that there was an unmet dependancy: libavcodec51. Trying to install the deb from the performous guys via CLI, I get:

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of performous:
 performous depends on libsdl-image1.2; however:
  Package libsdl-image1.2 is not installed.
 performous depends on libboost-serialization1.34.1; however:
  Package libboost-serialization1.34.1 is not installed.
 performous depends on libavcodec51; however:
  Package libavcodec51 is not installed.
 performous depends on libmagick++10; however:
  Package libmagick++10 is not installed.
dpkg: error processing performous (--install):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Processing triggers for menu ...
Processing triggers for man-db ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
 performous

Hope this helps someone in figuring out the problem.
