Depends on the libraries / codecs being used. In this case, the library |
| 12 |
is libvpx. The codec is VP8. |

ffmpeg already has native support for playback of VP8, so we'll probably |
| 15 |
be splitting the use flags into two parts: vp8 and and libvpx. |

I would say, for most ebuilds, just use vp8 use flag. That will be |
| 18 |
obvious what it means. |

For webm support, add a use flag just for that. WebM is a *combination* |
| 21 |
of VP8 + Vorbis. Strictly speaking though, it's still just Matroska, so |
| 22 |
support for it will probably be native anyway in most stuff. |
