-* libpam0g-dev, used to handle PAM authentication
-* libpulse-dev, used to output audio using PulseAudio
-* libasound2-dev, used to output audio using ALSA
+* `libpam0g-dev`: used to handle PAM authentication
+* `libpulse-dev`: used to output audio via PulseAudio in jukebox mode
 
 __Notes__:
-* libstb-dev can be replaced by libgraphicsmagick++1-dev (the latter will likely use more RAM)

 You also need _Wt4_, which is not packaged on _Debian_. See [installation instructions](https://www.webtoolkit.eu/wt/doc/reference/html/InstallationUnix.html).</br>
