Yes.  Twice over.

Yes, but I had to exclude media-libs/gst-plugins-bad to avoid the hard blocker 
and be able to emerge @world.

All on stable versions.  farstream is pulled in by pidgin.

# equery depends gst-plugins-bad
 * These packages depend on gst-plugins-bad:
dev-qt/qtmultimedia-5.7.1 (gstreamer ? media-libs/gst-plugins-bad:1.0)


There are some legacy settings in /etc/portage, but I wouldn't think they 
cause this block:

# grep gst -r /etc/portage/
/etc/portage/package.keywords/ffmpeg.keywords:#=media-plugins/gst-plugins-
ffmpeg-0.10.13_p201211-r5 ~amd64
/etc/portage/package.use/enlightenment:media-plugins/evas_generic_loaders 
gstreamer postscript
/etc/portage/package.use/im:net-im/pidgin gtk gstreamer
/etc/portage/package.use/bluetooth:net-wireless/bluez gstreamer pcmcia
/etc/portage/package.use/media:>=media-libs/gstreamer-0.10.36-r2:0.10 
abi_x86_32
/etc/portage/package.use/media:>=media-libs/gst-plugins-base-0.10.36-r2:0.10 
abi_x86_32
/etc/portage/package.use/media:>=media-libs/gst-plugins-bad-1.4:1.0 egl


This is the only box I came across this problem.  For now I keyworded  media-
libs/gst-plugins-bad-1.12.3 and it is now emerging without any more blocks, 
but it is not obvious to me why this happened.
