I asked mplayer2 dev, seems now it is safe to disable bin codecs and "real": <Nikoli> uau, what can you say about this https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=468406#c1 ? <Nikoli> should i disable 'real' in packages? <Nikoli> what is status of bin codecs, are they still required? <uau> Nikoli: binary codecs are only needed to play some rare kinds of files, should not matter for most users <Nikoli> uau, do you plan to remove support for them or will keep? <uau> Nikoli: i don't plan to remove binary codec support, as they can be useful for some special cases, and can be useful for developing replacements in libav <uau> but it's not something that distros should enable by default <uau> especially as the binary codecs can contain security issues The real USE flag has been removed from mplayer2. Can we do the same for mplayer?
