there is a bug #286866 which apparently indicates bug of sandbox, triggered by openal, triggered by mplayer's "configure"-script. all that seems was a reason for smplayer's maintainer to create "media-video/mplayer[ass,png,-openal]"-line in smplayer's ebuild. which i think wrong by 3 reasons: 1) no-one even sure that this is openal's or mplayer's bug 2) correct way would be to mask "openal"-flag for mplayer via use.mask if you insist since it not affects smplayer in any way directly (it's mplayer's frontend) 3) i, for example, do not experience this bug and happily was using openal as my default audio output for mplayer\smplayer because mplayer gives better audio normalization with it and i have highly customized alsa's asound.conf (which for openal is a nice abstraction) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. go back in time and start to use "smplayer-0.6.8.ebuild,v 1.0" and openal 2. go back in future and do emerge -1u @installed 3. get a error about smplayer needing mplayer[-openal] Actual Results: bad volume normalization in mplayer via alsa Expected Results: openal untouched Portage 2.2_rc46 (default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop, gcc-4.4.1, glibc-2.10.1-r0,
