From what I can see in openshot code, and according to an experiment, it gets sox effects throught mlt (either the Python API or the 'melt' executable), so the dependency should not be there. Especially given that mlt has sox disabled! mlt-0.9.0.ebuild: 113 --disable-sox" 114 #$(use_enable sox) FIXME Also, the seemingly useless dependency is annoying because openshot has this: media-sound/sox[encode,ffmpeg] but the newest sox (sox-14.4.2.ebuild) has no 'ffmpeg' in IUSE (correctly, as that has been dropped by upstream, replaced by "ffmpeg/avconv via pipe"). What I propose to do: - remove sox dependency from the openshot ebuild. What can be done in the longer term: - fix and enable mlt[sox] again. I removed sox from my system and ran openshot and I saw no breakage. By the way, the "mlt without sox" causes this: Warning: effect not found in your version of Sox: sox:bass Warning: effect not found in your version of Sox: sox:echo Warning: effect not found in your version of Sox: sox:phaser Warning: effect not found in your version of Sox: sox:treble Reproducible: Always

Thanks a lot Pacho! I did but time issues mainly… :)
