Hello and thanks for maintaining audacious in Debian!

I switched to Audacious Qt interface ("Qt mode") almost 2 years ago,
and never looked back. I find it is really nice.

However, I've recently found out (after a fresh install on a new system)
that the Qt interface fails to show its icons (such as the ones for
previous, play, stop, next, and several others), unless you have package
'qt6-svg-plugins' installed on your system.
This was a surprise.

Just running

    # aptitude install audacious

was not enough to see the icons in the Qt interface of Audacious.
I had to also manually run

    # aptitude install qt6-svg-plugins

I would say that package 'audacious' (or maybe 'audacious-plugins')
should Depend, or, at least, Recommend package 'qt6-svg-plugins'.

Please fix the Debian packaging, in order to improve the Debian
user experience.


Thanks for your time and dedication.

Season's greetings!
