After updating to 2006.1 the mad-useflag somehow seems to have disappeared from xine-lib, but it is needed for playback of dvb content. I added it manually and it did work again. I had dvb-useflag enabled from the beginning. I suggest adding dvb-useflag to xine-lib or bringing a warning in xine-ui or kaffeine if they are compiled with dvb and no mad is enabled. emerge --info: Portage 2.1.2_pre1 (default-linux/x86/2006.1, gcc-4.1.1/vanilla, glibc-2.4-r3, 2.6.18-rc7 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.18-rc7 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.12.5 Last Sync: Sun, 17 Sep 2006 09:30:01 +0000 app-admin/eselect-compiler: 2.0.0_rc2-r1 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.6-r1, 2.0.28-r1 dev-lang/python: 2.4.3-r3 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: [Not Present] dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.60 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.17 sys-devel/gcc-config: [Not Present] sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.17-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-Os -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -march=pentium4" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/eselect/compiler /etc/gconf /etc/java-config/vms/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c" CXXFLAGS="-Os -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -march=pentium4" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftpl.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/gentoo/ http://ftpl.tu-chemnitz.de/pub/linux/gentoo/ http://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/download/gentoo-mirror/ http://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/mirrors/gentoo/ http://mirrors.sec.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/gentoo/ http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo/ http://pandemonium.tiscali.de/pub/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.join.uni-muenster.de/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.tu-clausthal.de/pub/linux/gentoo/ ftp://ftp.wh2.tu-dresden.de/pub/mirrors/gentoo/distfiles/" LANG="de_DE.UTF-8" MAKEOPTS="" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 7zip X Xaw3d a52 aac aalib acpi aim alsa asf avi bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts bittorrent bluetooth bzip2 cairo cdparanoia cdr cli crypt cups curl dlloader dri dts dvb dvd dvdr dvdread dvi elibc_glibc expat fbcon ffmpeg flac foomaticdb fortran ftp gdbm gif gimp glibc-omitfp glut gnome gphoto2 graphviz gs gtk2 gtkhtml guile howl icq idn imagemagick imap input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse ipv6 isdnlog jabber java javascript jpeg jpeg2k junit kdeenablefinal kernel_linux lcms libcaca libg++ libwww mad matroska mbox mime mmx mmxext mng mono mozilla mp3 mpeg mpi msn ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin ogg oggvorbis opengl pam pcntl pcre pdf perl png posix postgres ppds pppd python quicktime readline real reflection ruby sdl seamonkey session sharedmem slang snmp sockets speex spell spl sse sse2 ssl subversion svg sysvipc szip tcpd tetex tga theora threads tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode usb userland_GNU vcd video_cards_fbdev video_cards_radeon video_cards_vesa video_cards_vga videos vorbis win32codecs wmf wxwindows xine xinerama xml2 xmms xorg xpm xv xvid xvmc yahoo zlib" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY
I don't see anything disappered, mad is still in IUSE.
I tried it, removed "mad" from /etc/make.conf, emerge tried to rebuild xine-lib without "mad". I looked in the other files in /etc/portage, nothing about "mad" there. You are right, in the ebuild it is still in IUSE. The symlinks in /etc/ for the new profile are set ok. That leaves me without a clue about what causes the problem.
