Hi, the pkg_setup of media-libs/mediastreamer bails out with certain USE combinations.  This is deprecated behaviour per 
http://devmanual.gentoo.org/general-concepts/use-flags/index.html
It creates false positives during automated arch testing.
The ebuild should chose a sane default, overriding users choices and inform the user per elog.

Thanks!

Reproducible: Always

Overriding defaults is better, but still it's hack around hack and I don't want to spend time on this because... I really hope that we'll have EAPI=4 soon to fix this issue. If you still think this is a problem, please, attach tested patch. Thank you.
