Presumably ogg support is wanted and only ogg123 can do that. So I guess
moving vorbis-tools to depends from reccomends.

If you look in the cplay source (search for "PLAYERS") you can see it
makes a distinction between 3 different types of player
FrameOffsetPlayer, TimeOffsetPlayer and NoOffsetPlayer.

NoOffsetPlayer means that you can't rewind or fast-forward using that
player.

Offset capable players that support mp3 are splay, mpg123, mpg321 and
madplay. When a track is played in cplay it goes through the list in
that order to find one that is installed. So if you have all 4 installed
it will use splay. So you might say that there is an preference within
the program for splay.

If you put "python, vorbis-tools, mpg321 | madplay | splay | mpg123"
into depends does it ask the user which one to install if none are
installed?
