Description Doktor Notor 2010-02-25 21:31:52 UTC 
Even with USE=ffmpeg (which implies -Duse_system_ffmpeg=1) it installs the bundled stuff. Valid for at least

[ebuild   R   ] www-client/chromium-5.0.307.9  USE="ffmpeg plugins-symlink" 0 kB

but likely for others as well (per Bug 293666 at least).

# qlist www-client/chromium-5.0.307.9 | grep libav
/usr/lib/chromium-browser/libavformat.so.52
/usr/lib/chromium-browser/libavcodec.so.52
/usr/lib/chromium-browser/libavutil.so.50

if use ffmpeg; then
        # Chromium looks for these in its folder
        # See media_posix.cc and base_paths_linux.cc
        dosym /usr/$(get_libdir)/libavcodec.so.52 ${CHROMIUM_HOME}
        dosym /usr/$(get_libdir)/libavformat.so.52 ${CHROMIUM_HOME}
        dosym /usr/$(get_libdir)/libavutil.so.50 ${CHROMIUM_HOME}
fi

Eh... WTH. Oh well, I don't care enough to give upstream some cluebat loving. The USE flag is broken regardless, lets continue this in Bug 306921.
