Description Timothy Stotts 2006-05-10 10:39:03 UTC 
The use-flag 'akode' is specified throughout kde-base/kdemultimedia-3.5.2-r2.ebuild.  But IUSE is missing the flag.  Should be present in ebuild as user likely wants to use akode, but doesn't know of its omission.

Related info:

(1)  This produces arts audio corruption in kde-specific applications (noatun, amarok, kcmshell arts):
# USE="alsa arts audiofile -debug encode flac gstreamer kdeenablefinal mp3 musicbrainz theora vorbis xine xinerama" =kde-base/kdemultimedia-3.5.2-r2

(2)  Adding "akode" to use flags, fixes audio output corruption.  Sound is normal again.
# USE="alsa akode arts audiofile -debug encode flac gstreamer kdeenablefinal mp3 musicbrainz theora vorbis xine xinerama" =kde-base/kdemultimedia-3.5.2-r2  

(3) kde-base/kdemultimedia-3.5.2-r1.ebuild had no issues on my system.

  kdemultimedia-3.5.2-r2.ebuild:
  Add missing akode in useflags. Thanks to Jakub Moc in bug #135978.


Regarding your other findings: The aRts developers advise to use aRts with aKode. My advise would be not to use aRts, when you can live without knotify, a jingling desktop and the one or the other application, which depends on it. All the problems with aRts from latency to crashes will never be properly fixed.
