@Scott every amsn build is waiting in queue.

@Jeremy and others
I recently talked with Vivia (the debian mantainer). And she said (sorry for 
quoting a private mail)

>  * debian/control:
>    - Build-depend on libfarstream-0.1-dev
>    - Depend on libfarstream-0.1-0 and xdg-utils

There is no point in having farstream in aMSN 0.98.9. Due to a
protocol change in the servers, it can't do anything useful with
farstream anymore (unless heavily hacked, but those who want to do it
should know how to recompile it). Indeed, I removed all
farstream/gstreamer dependencies.

>  * debian/patches/08_use_aplay_for_sound.patch:
>    - Use aplay from alsa-utils instead of play from sox for sounds

Ideally it should probably use snack instead. Thank you for pointing
this one out to me, I'll consider the best solution and fix it in
future package versions and maybe upstream too.

So, I personally think would be better to drop the debian/control delta and 
drop the aplay patch in a future release
