As steve said, afparse requires cvs libaudiofile. But it's rather silly
that it gets built if the function's not there. And we didn't even spot
this because gcc accepts implicit declarations, i assume.

What do people think about adding -Wimplicit to the plugin CFLAGS to
catch this? Also, I think this is a release-blocker, as it can break
autoplugging. We need to develop a test for cvs audiofile and
conditionalize this plugin. I can do it later today, but I'm working
lunch now.
