Something's wrong there: |

Looking into ebuilds, it would appear that gst-plugins-meta used to have |
| 59 |
alsa and oss USE flags. The most current version doesn't, so you either |
| 60 |
have to emerge gst-plugins-alsa manually or emerge gst-plugins-meta to |
| 61 |
get alsa support. Which seems really odd as the vast majority of users |
| 62 |
will have alsa or oss. |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
Perhaps you could file a feature request at b.g.o. to get the old |
| 65 |
behaviour back. It seems entirely reasonable to me that rhythmbox |
| 66 |
should DEPENDs on gst-plugins-base which should conditionally DEPEND |
| 67 |
on -alsa or -oss (or other sound systems). Unless rhythmbox can serve |
| 68 |
up over the network that is, in which case local hardware support might |
| 69 |
not be needed. |
