Description:   Opened: 2008-10-13 02:30 0000 
ASS is a competitor of SRT, it really makes no sense to have USE=srt enable
support for it...

------- Comment #1 From Wormo 2008-10-13 07:09:32 0000 ------- 
I think it is upstream mplayer that includes a single flag for building (or not
building) subtitle support, but perhaps the useflag could have been better
named to be more general. I'll let mplayer ebuild maintainers debate this with
you :)

------- Comment #2 From Luke-Jr 2008-10-13 08:04:58 0000 ------- 
No, --disable-ass is a pretty specific option...

------- Comment #3 From Ben de Groot 2008-10-18 19:21:04 0000 ------- 
I am all for renaming the srt useflag to ass, that will make much more sense to
people looking at upstream documentation or support. But it's up to Steve.

Agreed.  Fixed in mplayer-1.0_rc2_p28058

Should I open a seperate bug for tracking brakages due to this, or reopen this
as a tracker?

------- Comment #6 From Steven Susbauer 2008-12-05 02:08:42 0000 ------- 
So this USE flag has been noticed and getting commentary in the chat already.

Is there any reason not to use SSA? The description for the use flag is
"Internal SRT/SSA/ASS (SubRip / SubStation Alpha) subtitle support" - it seems
SSA could describe the SubRip / SubStation Alpha section (but what do I know).

They call it ass, childish users see that as something else.

------- Comment #7 From Ben de Groot 2008-12-05 02:45:31 0000 ------- 
Who are we to withhold so-called childish users their laughs?

Either way, the upstream option is --{dis,en}able-ass, so for clarity we are
following that naming.
