The pulseaudio-dependencies aggregate is unneeded and actually harmful nowadays.
Instead of copying the dependencies into your own repository via an aggregate,
you can build directly against the additional repositories. AFAIK, OBS will make
sure that it's up-to-date, including rebuilds if dependencies change.

The download script looks weird... it just fetches the git repository and
repackages it. Probably useful for testing manual builds, but it isn't used
automatically anywhere.

I keep wondering about that... is X2Go really the only user of PulseAudio on
Windows? Or do the other users just stay on the old 1.0 version (whatever it
was) from 10 years ago?

But yeah, that's why I forked and updated it. OBS supports collaborative
development in general though, so we could just use one repo. I didn't mean to
do this privately. :)

Okay, will do so later and update the contrib repository. Luckily I won't have
to also update the dependencies.
