The problem is that I have no more time to do it, and I started it
because I needed to run liquidsoap (it was a little netradio), but
then that project ended (as my free time)

And I know that anyone else will do a way better job! :)

here a list of the disowned packages

liquidsoap
ocaml-alsa
ocaml-cry
ocaml-dtools
ocaml-duppy
ocaml-lame
ocaml-mad
ocaml-magic
ocaml-ogg
ocaml-shout
ocaml-soundtouch
ocaml-taglib
ocaml-vorbis
