/etc/xdg/lightspark.conf contains backend=pulseaudio by default, even if USE=-pulseaudio. In this case audio will simply and silently not work. I suggest adding this to src_install(): use pulseaudio || sed -e 's/backend = pulseaudio/backend = sdl/' -i "${D}"/etc/xdg/lightspark.conf Upstream bug is [1], and they might also decide to adjust the default config, in which case the abovementioned sed would become obsolete.

Upstream decided for WONTFIX and points at the packager to adjust the config file.
That's not great indeed. Allowing to specify comma-delimited list of backends which are tried in order, or an option like backend=auto / default_backend that falls back to another one if necessary would be more elegant. But it's only a one-time configuration which is necessary presently. So I am unsure whether the current situation is better or forcing dispatch-conf/etc-update run after USE flag changes.

Feel free to suggest that to upstream. What I asked for was setting the backend via cmake based on the value of AUDIO_BACKEND. > But it's only a one-time configuration which is necessary presently.

The primary issue IMO is that the user usually does not know about that config file (and it is also unexpected for a plugin to be configurable in this manner) and hence is just confused why his audio does not work.
Fixed in CVS.
