Make supported media type tests dynamic, add audio/x-m4a if faad plugin is available [Colin Walters] Enough to close: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50145 ? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Perhaps I'm ignorant here, how does this involve the bug you mentioned? xine support was removed because of lack of maintainership.
It seemed more like the bug was about m4a support, that was only supported with the xine backed earlier. M4a works with the gstreamer backend now.
Afaik there's still a gstreamer change needed to complete m4a support, so thats why I wanted to wait until gst-0.8.2 is out before adding this release.
gst-0.8.2 and .3 out!
it's plugins changes that are needed iirc
Yup, new gstreamer is out. So the m4a support is there. See Bug #53202

Any update on this? I'm looking to using rhythmbox for the m4a support. I emerged it but was disappointed to find out the version in portage doesn't support it......
0.8.5 is out, any news ?
Made ebuild for Rhythmbox 0.8.5 by copying the 0.8.3 one. Using gst-plugins-0.8.2, everything works dandy with m4a files.

Are we going to see a version bump in gentoo anytime soon for rhythmbox? It's still at 0.8.3, and now 0.8.5 is apparently available.........waiting for m4a support.......it'd be nice to have it in gentoo natively rather than having to do it by hand.
yep, added 0.8.5 (faad USE for m4a support), marked 0.8.3 x86 stable. Sorry it took so long.
