Description:
Upon attempting to install wireshark-cli, portaudio is a required dep - which pulls in a whole heap of other stuff:

$ pacman -S wireshark-cli
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...

Packages (14): alsa-lib-1.0.27.2-1 flac-1.3.0-1 gnutls-3.3.2-1 jack-0.124.1-1 libogg-1.3.1-2 libsamplerate-0.1.8-3 libsndfile-1.0.25-3 libtasn1-3.4-1
libvorbis-1.3.4-1 lua-5.2.3-1 nettle-2.7.1-1 p11-kit-0.20.2-1 portaudio-19_20140130-1 wireshark-cli-1.10.7-1

Total Download Size: 15.66 MiB
Total Installed Size: 75.94 MiB

Currently shows:
Depends On : krb5 libgcrypt libcap libpcap bash gnutls glib2 lua portaudio

Surely most of these (especially audio!) should be optional dependencies?
This task depends upon
