for example gnome-sound-propaties detect my soundcard after gst-plugins-alsa installed "by a hand" despite set alsa USE flags. control-center still has alsa, but hasn't gstreamer pulled alsa plugins? [ebuild R ] gnome-base/control-center-2.20.1 USE="alsa hal -debug -eds -esd" note that previous version has some use flags. 0.10.14: >IUSE="alsa esd oss X xv" 0.10.15: >IUSE="debug nls" this breaks gnome-sound-propaties, mixer_applet2, totem for using on alsa not esd. i see gnome-overlay has been filed gst-plugins-alsa in totem dependency, but not gnome.
media-libs/gst-plugins-base is not missing any dependency. The use flags are gone, they were invalid. So, once again - file bugs about *ebuilds* missing dependencies, not about gstreamer stuff itself. If some gnome stuff needs gst-plugins-alsa, then it should state its dependencies correctly.
myfault, i didn't understands what you means.
