gst-plugins-bad-0.10.x ebuild disables building the opengl video sink (necessary for accelerated video playback on my system) by default despite having the opengl USE flag set. Looking through the ebuild & eclass it appears that many/most of the plugins are disabled by default. The ebuild should be changed to respect USE flags, or users should be given a clear mechanism to choose which plugins are built and installed.

There's no USE=opengl in the ebuild.
OK, why is the opengl sink disabled?
this has nothing to do with gnome
reassigning to proper herd and changing title. @B.: this has to do with how gstreamer plugins are handled in gentoo
done
Thank you for the ebuild. Can you keyword it ~amd64 also?
