21 A quick bug-check says it's a known issue, related to a conflict between
22 the portage sandbox and openal. USE=-openal works for many, if you don't
23 specifically need openal, of course, otherwise, consider FEATURES=-
24 sandbox (which is a bit safer if you run FEATURES=userpriv).

31 FWIW I seem to have missed the bug as emerge --pretend mplayer says I
32 have USE=-openal (which euse -i says is open audio library, but that's
33 about all I know about it).
