I'm going to try to at least clean openSUSE:11.4. The openSUSE:11.4
and multimedia:libs versions of libsndfile are bit identical, so it's
safe. If at some point a package requires a newer version of
libsndfile than the one found in openSUSE 11.4 it would be good that
whoever enables the build adds in the OBS package description a
comment explaining why it's enabled (see cdparanoia and schroedinger
descriptions). This way there would be some control about this kind of
packages.
