Why is cantata depending on vlc, shouldn't that be an optional dependency?

Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  It can't be optional because /usr/bin/cantata links to it.

Why does it depends at all on vlc? And they are also other strange dependencies in comparison to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CDrummond/cantata/master/README.

Also:
$ namcap cantata-2.0.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
cantata W: Referenced library 'libvlc.so.5' is an uninstalled dependency
cantata E: Dependency hicolor-icon-theme detected and not included (needed for hicolor theme hierarchy)
cantata W: Dependency ffmpeg detected but optional (libraries ['usr/lib/libavutil.so.54', 'usr/lib/libavcodec.so.56', 'usr/lib/libavformat.so.56'] needed in files ['usr/lib/cantata/cantata-replaygain'])
cantata W: Dependency included and not needed ('vlc')
cantata W: Dependency included and not needed ('media-player-info')
cantata W: Dependency included and not needed ('udisks2')
