You can take over xine-lib and fix it however you prefer.

As this, as well as any other idea you can find, is just an HACK until portage 
devs implements the per-package use.mask that i asked WAY before 2.1 release, 
but was then left OUT of the freeze and thus of the featureset we can use 6 
months from now, I REFUSE to change the behaviour.

You should know better than me this problem, considering that you masked 
media-video/transcode on x86 2.4 profile because it was depending on 
linux-headers 2.6 (as it should have been) with v4l2 useflag enabled. You 
should have use.masked (as it was later done) that useflag as it's 2.6 
specific, and I did it that way to satisfy sparc requirement of not having 
v4l useflag present for them, as it failed with 2.4 kernel.

So if I didn't do it that way, forcing people wanting v4l support to use v4l 
v4l2, now I should still have the stupid, broken, idiotic transcode 0.6 in 
the tree, or one of the x86 deptrees broken, or one of the x86 deptrees with 
NO v4l at all.
