The win32codecs USE flag pulls in the win32codecs package. The real USE flag |
| 15 |
pulls in realplayer. Neither of those two independent USE flags are enabled |
| 16 |
by default on any profile. Both of the mplayer and the win32codecs packages |
| 17 |
have a real USE flag. And mplayer doesn't depend on ffmpeg at all... |
