Description Florian Wagner 2009-05-12 17:37:17 UTC 
In bug #260196 media-plugins/gst-plugins-gconf was added as a dependency to the quodlibet ebuild. Actually gconf is not absolutely necessary to run quodlibet. From man 1 quodlibet:

AUDIO BACKENDS
       Quod Libet uses GStreamer for audio playback. It  tries  to  read  your
       GConf  GStreamer  configuration,  but  if  that  fails it falls back to
       osssink. You can change the pipeline option in  ~/.quodlibet/config  to
       use  a  different  sink,  or pass options to the sink. For example, you
       might use esdsink or alsasink device=hw:1.

I run quodlibet fine without the gconf/gst-plugins-gconf dependency from the modfied ebuild at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~wagnerflo/wagnerflo-overlay/wagnerflo-overlay/files/head%3A/media-sound/quodlibet/ (has an additional USE flag gconf which I don't set).

+  quodlibet-2.0-r2.ebuild:
+  Remove hardcoded gst-plugins-gconf dep wrt #269594, if it's missing it
+  will produce errors as shown in #260196 but keeps happily playing with
+  osssink.
