-      This package does not come with a test suite.

+     This will require a network connection, and to be run from within an
+     Xorg session - there is a popup dialog when it fails to connect to
+     ALSA (that does not create a failed test). One or two tests will fail.
+     To see the details of the failure(s) you will need to log the output
+     from that command so that you can review it.
