hi,

thank you on your work regarding packaging modules. doing the same for
mandriva, i know what it means - and it's welcome! :-)

from perldoc Test::Corpus::Audio::MPD

    Note also that the test suite comes with its own ogg files - and
    yes, we can redistribute them since it's only some random voice
    recordings :-)

the ogg files are 2 seconds tracks of me saying "ok" in a mic. very bad
quality, absolutely no artistic sense behind it... and definitely no
copyrighted material.

maybe i should add that it's *my* voice being recorded.

erm, the source file was just a wav file with me speaking in the mic.
and they're definitely long gone! :-)

do you need something else? because i'm afraid i won't be able to
provide anything additional! ;)

note however that if this is a problem for redistributing the module in
debian, it's not that big a problem: the module is only used for testing
the other mpd modules (thanks for packaging them)... and developping
those modules.

i hope i cleared any problems, don't hesitate to come back to me if
needed.

regards,
jérôme
