LOL!  I just had a bug like that!  Mesa and from it, xorg-server wouldn't 
install on my new netbook image, because eselect opengl wasn't getting a 
valid profile.  It took me two days, all sorts of ebuild and eselect code 
tracing, and bothering the gentoo/xorg folks with a bug that ultimately 
turned out to be invalid... to find out I had copied one too many config 
files from my amd64 side, without editing.  One of them put lib64 instead 
of lib, in the LDPATH, and that one little thing, no lib64 in the 32-bit 
chroot, which of course seems obvious NOW, screwed me up for two days!

I'm sure every gentooer has had cases of that.  I guess they help keep us 
humble. =:^)

I honestly haven't fiddled with it much.  I don't do CDs much anymore, as 
I listen to online radio, shoutcast stations and the like, most of the 
time now.  I'd use k3b to rip the CD to disk -- even to /tmp, which is on 
tmpfs here (a CD is under a gig, small when you have 6 or 8 gigs of RAM 
to play with, it fits just fine in tmpfs), if it was a single-shot that I 
wasn't planning on keeping around.  Then of course the ripped tracks, 
mp3, ogg, whatever, would play just fine in whatever music player...
