Bug#471061: audacious 1.5.0-1: please disable sse2 support

[Pascal Dormeau]

Just to mention in case you decide to disable sse2 on all architectures: I
checked on wikipedia and it seems that sse2 is supported by all x86-64 CPUs and
should not be harmful on amd64 architecture (which is not the case for i386, not
all CPUs are supporting SSE2). Same article says that the increase in
performance is not significant...

Best regards.

Bug#471061: audacious 1.5.0-1: please disable sse2 support

[Pascal Dormeau]

Package: audacious
Version: 1.5.0-1
Severity: normal

audacious 1.5.0-1 cannot run (illegal instruction) on my old PIII machine 
whereas there is no problem on my laptop (PIV cpu). I guess this is because 
audacious has been built with sse2 support (enabled by default).
Rebuilding the package with explicit --disable-sse2 configure instruction in 
the debian/rules file solves the problem for me.

Best regards.
