Actually, I think there used to be an mplayer USE flag that behaved in |
| 14 |
exactly this way - it was associated with RealPlayer &/or their codecs. |

However I would assume this to be the exception rather than the rule, |
| 17 |
and one would generally assume that USE="x y z" adds support for x, y, |
| 18 |
z. |

I believe there has in the past & for this reason been some confusion |
| 21 |
over this real / RealPlayer use flag. The devs masked it to prevent |
| 22 |
Real's own crappy binaries being used (in favour of mplayer doing the |
| 23 |
decoding itself) and I think there was some protest from people who |
| 24 |
didn't apprecaite that their mplayer would continue to stream Radio 1 |
| 25 |
without it. |
