Just curious, for what reason an audio codec is needed as a dependency
of a virtual machine thing? How does it fit in the stack?

celt-0.51 is a hard-depdency for Spice to encode the audio.
It's select-ed by BR2_PACKAGE_SPICE in a later patch.

Note that I added all new packages in a row, rather than add them just
prior to the requiring qemu feature. Should I re-order the series to make
the depedencies clearer?

No, I understood perfectly that celt was a dependency of spice. My
question was not Buildroot-specific: I was trying to understand
what Qemu/Spice had to do with an audio encoder.

Do you predict this version requirement to be kept for a long period of
time?

Spice advertises that celt-051 is the only supported version because
later versions have changed too much and are thus not compatible.

I have absolutely no idea whther Spice will upgrade one day... :-/

Ah, ok, I just realized you named the package celt051 and not celt just
because of that. Ok, good.
