Added qmmp-0.10.5 and qmmp-plugins-pack-0.10.2 in response to a request on Bunsen Labs forum.

Newer versions of qmmp require a more recent version of Qt 5 than we have in Jessie.

Kodi upgraded to the 17.0 final release, backported from Debian Experimental. This also required an upgrade to libcec-dev to >= 4, which is also in the repo. Rc2 was using a patch to let it use libcec-dev 3, but this was dropped when libcec4 became available upstream.

I'm updating the gimp development version in the repo to 2.9.5~93, but it wouldn't build without a backport of liblcms2-dev. (Gimp-devel's newer libgegl-dev build-dep also needs a newer ffmpeg than Jessie's got, which is why it's in the multimedia repo.)

However, ffmpeg also has a build-dep on liblcms2-dev, so that triggered a rebuild cascade of ffmpeg and everything that builds upon it...about 36 packages. It should shake out in a hour or two, I hope!

Adding apulse 0.1.9. This will fool Firefox 52 that you have pulseaudio installed when you only have ALSA sound.

Updating Audacity to the new 2.1.3 release. It also needed an update of the Flac libraries to avoid a FTBFS, so backported the Stretch flac package. Since ffmpeg also builds against flac, this again triggered a rebuild of ffmpeg and all its dependant packages, but that should sort itself out in an hour or so.

Hello,
I am on Jessie+ backports.
If I add your multimedia repo, will I be able to use Firefox > 52 even if it will not exist in the backports due to the rust compiler being absent in Jessie and backports?
I am afraid to mess up my system so, if I am OK with my seasoned multimedia, can I use your repo in a backports style: e.g. I install only firefox from it and update only firefox and its dependencies?

Kudos for finding a workaround to the pulseaudio requirement!
May the FORK be with you!
