++ to audio-xxxx |

IMO gfx-xxxx looks like some texting/personal shortcut, |
| 24 |
not appropriately professional for a (meta-)distro like gentoo. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
graphics-xxxx would be quite reasonable, however. |

Right. mplayer, xine, etc, work just fine as for instance mp3 players. |
| 33 |
So media-xxxx is fine for them. |
| 34 |
|

find something else appropriate for it. |
