If the exceptions are placed into a separate file, would this resolve the
matter? My reading is that it permits people to use non-GPL compatible plugins
and therefore is not adding restrictions but IANAL.

The only comment I can make here is that this version has few known bugs and
most of those are outside of its control. One reason the package is being pushed
for inclusion in Extras is so that upstream can garner more feedback and improve
Q.A. which will surely help with debugging. As for security problems I really
cannot comment except to say this is an audio editor written in python using Gtk
widgets, not say, a driver with kernel hooks.

A small patch (which only just missed the 0.1 release deadline) has now removed
this dependency on alsaaudio.

I have updated the package and spec file accordingly and bumped the version.

I have posted on this and will get back to you. Would you please in the meantime
avail us of your dbus version which you can get with:

$ python -c "import dbus; print dbus.version"
