The last sign of life from the official [Snack] and [Wavesurfer] maintainers is from the year 2006 and the last release are from 2005.  It would be a pity if this wonderful package dies and so we ([UKo] and ...) want to start a sort of reanimation.

The first step is to collect the patches for different errors or enhancements that float around.

Then we have to clarify the future development:
   * will the official maintainers rise their hands and continue the development
   * will they at least hand the future of snack and wavesurfer to the community
   * or do we have to make a friendly fork to continue the development?

The first patch I will provide is a compile time option, to compile snack without [mp3]-support to make it fully free (in the tcl sense).

[DKF]: I advise only waiting a finite amount of time for a response from the official maintainers. Better to have a fork (and apologies) than to let something languish for want of the gumption to get on with it.
