15 that example isnt relevant. notice how the description includes the word
16 "prefer" and isnt just "enable mp3 support".
17
18 USE=mp3 is how you get mp3 support. if there are multiple options (like
19 ffmpeg or lame or mpg123 or something else), then USE=lame shows up to select
20 one particular implementation over another. but it would still be:
21 USE="mp3 lame"
