In trying to compile some foreign game I came to realize that sdl-mixer had no compiled-in ogg support! Re-emerging it showed that it was configuring sdl-mixer with --disable-ogg-music no matter what I did, even when I forced USE="vorbis" on the commandline. The problem turned out to be pretty simple; several times in the ebuild, an 'oggvorbis' flag is checked for, but there is no such flag, just 'vorbis'. Changing oggvorbis to vorbis allowed sdl-mixer to be configured for and compile in ogg vorbis support. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge sdl-mixer 2. Try some game that needs vorbis support in sdl-mixer 3. Huh, no ogg vorbis! Actual Results: The game wouldn't run as it failed to load it's music files. Expected Results: sdl-mixer should be able to use ogg vorbis when available.

That's been fixed in the portage tree since July. Your tree is very much out of date. You really need to run "emerge --sync"
