Fortunately, the latest version doesn't depend on esound any longer. It 
installs some additional binaries, but I don't think that's a big issue.

But your comment gave me a different idea that might be worthwile. If both 
ports are kept (i.e., libmpcdec containing the updated library, musepack just 
the tools), the upgrade path would be easier. Ports could be upgraded without 
manual intervention.

 Hi,
 
 I'm the maintainer of audio/musepack. With the last update, it now provides 
 libmpdec.so. About 15 ports currently use the older shared library provided 
 by 
 audio/libmpcdec (maintained by multimedia@, CCed).
 
 For now, mutual CONFLICTS are registered.
 
 What I'm planning to do is update all depending ports to use audio/musepack, 
 thus making audio/libmpcdec obsolete.
 
 
 I have some questions before I'll start working on this task:
 
 - Are there any objections to deprecating libmpcdec and replacing it by 
 musepack? According to the website, libmpcdec version is Old. Refer to above 
 SV8 lib (compatible with SV7).
 
 After creating a patch for updating and testing:
 - Should I ask the maintainers of the affected ports for approval?
 
 I've tested musicpd and vlc so far and update was pretty straight-forward:
 replace
 LIB_DEPENDS+=  mpcdec.5:${PORTSDIR}/audio/libmpcdec
 by
 LIB_DEPENDS+=   mpcdec.7:${PORTSDIR}/audio/musepack
 and bump the port revision.
 
 
 Because both ports conflict, upgrading needs manual intervention. I guess I 
 should prepare an entry for UPDATING?
 
 Anything I forgot or other thoughts?
