 Hi again.

 Today, I worked on cleaning these packages.

 And apparently, I don't need to recompile barely the whole world to 
 backport audacious.

 We just need the libmowgli, audacious and audacious-plugins packages.

 I changed the versions needed for build dependencies on the 
 audacious-plugins package, and I didn't see any problems during 
 compilation and when testing the software.

 So I've updated the folder : 
 http://www.davromaniak.eu/vrac/backports/audacious/

 Thanks.
