Actually, I didn't bring this one up, someone else did.  I just added it
to my list.  I've since removed it from my list, since it seems that it
will cause more damage than good, though I personally run without it and
have no problems.  This is another of those cases where per-package USE
defaults would help, as we could enable it for SDL-mixer and be done
with it.

Correct.  I really would prefer not touch this one until it really is
gone from the tree.
