I understand your concern, after all, first thing I did with this port was make rplay dependency optional. But I don't think it's a good idea to turn it off by default. The upstream has this option on in default configuration and port also has sound option enabled for many years. If you want to get rid of rplay dependency, just rebuild the port with sound option off. As a side note, I plan to update vtwm port to 5.5.0-2012-04-25 snapshot at the end of this year. It's stable, brings many improvements like png support, sloppy focus, etc and many bug fixes. I've waited long enough, too long perhaps, for 5.5.0 release. -- Alex
