media-sound/mpd refuses to compile when you run it through portage because it reports my system supports no sound systems, however, I downloaded the package from the author's site and compiled it outside of portage and it compiled perfectly. Logs when installing via portage: ########### MPD CONFIGURATION ############ Playback Support: libao support .................disabled OSS support ...................disabled ALSA support ..................disabled Sun support ...................disabled OS X support ..................disabled PulseAudio support ............disabled Media MVP support .............disabled Shout streaming support .......disabled configure: error: No Audio Output types configured! !!!

Post the output of emerge -pv media-sound/mpd; looks like you've disable all use flags, which doesn't make much sense...
These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild N ] media-sound/mpd-0.12.1 USE="unicode -aac -alsa -ao -audiofile -flac -icecast -ipv6 -mikmod -mp3 -musepack -oss -pulseaudio -vorbis" 0 kB

Closing WORKSFORME, either enable some sound or don't install the thing.
