okay, there is a musepack useflag, which, unfortunately, doesn't seem |
| 26 |
to affect mplayer: |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
[04:42 PM]wwong ~ $ grep musepack /usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc |
| 29 |
app-cdr/k3b:musepack - Enable support for musepack files |
| 30 |
media-sound/moc:musepack - Support for musepack (mpc) files |
| 31 |
media-sound/mpd-svn:musepack - Enable support for musepack files |
| 32 |
media-sound/musepack-tools:16bit - Higher quality sound output using dithering and noise-shaping |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
And a cursory glance at the mplayer ebuild shows that there's no |
| 35 |
dependence on musepack of any sort (not even optional) |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Now, there are two things you can do: |
| 38 |
1) If you really want mplayer to support musepack, do some web |
| 39 |
searches, make sure the codec really is supported, and then you go |
| 40 |
and file a bug at b.g.o. for the feature request. In the mean time, |
| 41 |
you can probably edit the ebuild yourself to include support for |
| 42 |
musepack. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
2) If you don't want to edit the ebuild (or can't be bothered to |
| 45 |
learn), a stop-gap solution is to emerge media-sound/moc with the |
| 46 |
musepack flag turned on. That should at least allow you to play the |
| 47 |
files for the time being. |
