Something is broken with USE flags in latest totem ebuild, when using gstreamer backend. It tries to emerge gst-plugins-a52dec as a dependancy, even though USE flags are set to "-a52" (xemerge is an alias for 'ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge'). # xemerge totem -pvt These are the packages that I would merge, in reverse order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

totem has gst-plugins-a52dec as a dependancy if you have the "a52" _and/or_ the "dvd" use flags.
this is the intended behaviour, dvd often use ac3 audio which is handled by the a52 plugin.
