Ah, I knew this question was gonna come up, should have addresed it |
| 22 |
first time around. |

The reason we have mp3 and lame use flag is because there is more than |
| 25 |
one mp3 encoder. In almost every case of the use flag being applied |
| 26 |
above, there is already support for another mp3 codec (ffmpeg). So, |
| 27 |
lame adds support for lame, not for mp3, which is also provided. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
When there is just one mp3 codec used in an ebuild, then it makes sense |
| 30 |
to use just the mp3 use flag. |
