I believe so: |

I'm guessing that it's this that's causing the problems you describe |
| 29 |
above. You mentioned package unmasking, and this is recommended in the |
| 30 |
referenced forums post for those that require Real, but you might just |
| 31 |
try unmerging win32codecs & realcodecs & trying your update again. |

I discovered this reorganisation because updating my system showed |
| 34 |
mplayer updating with the real USE flag being forcibly disabled, i.e.: |
| 35 |
[ebuild U ] media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc2_p27725-r1 [1.0_rc2_p26753- |
| 36 |
r1] USE="... -radio (-real*) -rtc ... " 0 kB |

Someone on #gentoo was able to help because they'd experienced the |
| 38 |
issue this morning. |

It's not clear to me from this post whether Realplayer & these codecs |
| 41 |
are actually needed by mplayer in order to play .rm & .ram playlists & |
| 42 |
audio files. One would assume so, except for beandog's statement |
| 43 |
"Chances are, you don't need them anyway. The codecs are hardly used |
| 44 |
anymore, and most people will be fine without them." |

I have been thinking recently to record Pete Tong & the other Friday / |
| 47 |
Saturday night Radio 1 DJs using cron & mplayer, so I can burn their |
| 48 |
shows to CD-R & listen to them in the car during the week. As a |
| 49 |
consequence later tonight I will be testing mplayer's ability to |
| 50 |
handle http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/realaudio/media/r1live.ram without |
| 51 |
these packages installed. |
