After emerging libquicktime 0.9.9 xawtv segfaults. An emerge of xawtv just results in a compilation error. I'm attaching the failed emerge log. The workaround is to downgrade libquicktime to 0.9.7-r1 and xawtv emerges just fine.
Created attachment 92508 [details] log for emerging xawtv with libquicktime 0.9.9 installed

I fear that name is appropriate. I can't immediately see how things should be done now, though I haven't read all libquicktime mails on the subject yet. Current xawtv 4 CVS snapshot 20060317 seems to still use those members, so backporting the solution from xawtv 4 to 3 also isn't an option. My guess is that libquicktime now can handle almost all colormodel conversions, so that xawtv could simply pick its most favorite one and let libquicktime do the rest. But I don't know much really, so I don't feel like fixing this yet.

Either libquicktime or xawtv needs to be masked, or libquicktime needs to be slotted. The current situation is just broken.

I just added a patch to compile against >= libquicktime-0.9.9
