1 Hi there,

3 With an `emerge -pv world` today I've noticed an anomaly with vlv &
4 ffmpeg. It initially came up with a portage message which reported
5 AFAIR a package would be slotted for the first time. I uninstalled
6 vlc just for the moment, and upgraded ffmpeg to the latest version.
7 Still I see this problem:

43 I would (obviously) prefer not to have two different versions of
44 ffmpeg on my system, and you'll see that the version pulled in by vlc
45 has the mp3 USE flag forcibly disabled. I don't know that I've ever
46 actually used vlc, so this is probably unimportant, but I'd like to
47 have it installed just in case I want to stream video around the
48 house in the future. Does anyone know if there's a workaround for this?
