Currently gst-based audio players, like totem or quodlibet will fail to open wavepack files (.wv) if gst-plugins-wavpack is not installed. This feature is considered to be present "by default" by these players, as such gst-meta and possibly mentioned players should have some reference to it in form of a USE flag. "Wavpack" should be present at least in gst-plugins-meta. As quodlibet ALSO has USE flags for audio it should support(like musepack, wma, aac), maybe wavpack should also be added as USE. Although I question if this feature is removable; as it will simply produce warnings and skip files if gst-plugins-wavpack is absent, files will still be shown in the playlist, even if unplayable. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Quodlibet: open any file 2.File will be skipped with error 3.
*** Bug 313889 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Samuli, are you sure want to mark 313889 as duplicate? - Quodlibet expects for some formats like ogg, wv, flac, mp3 to be there, otherwise it will display them, but won't play them. There should be at least a message in ebuild to emerge this formats, so the user is informed. Unfortunately they are hard-linked in QL, Im not aware of possibility to make it simply hide unsupported from the play/file-list. - (fixed, newer ebuild has it removed) Quodlibet has many USE flags for similar gstreamer formats.
gstreamer@ does not primary maintain quodlibet, totem nor gst-plugins-meta. Reassigning to bugwranglers for proper assignment.
As an update: gst-plugins-wavpack is missing quite several keywords to be added to gst-plugins-meta: arm, ia64, sh, sparc Sh could presumably mask the use flag (since it's masked for another package) but they all have to be dealt with.
