[aur-general] AUR and deb or other precompiled stuff

[Nathan O.]

I understand, and I am not trying to attack either, just wanted to 
clarify why I am trying the deb file to attempt to get it to work. See 
kamix was the previous version, kalsamix is the updated name version, so 
I am trying to get it to work in case something may depend on it or 
somebody wants it.
