Trying to get sound to work in vlc, I had trouble quickly locating the correct USE flags to set, trying to enable mad mp3 support.. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -vp vlc 2. 3. Actual Results: No "mad" USE flag shows in listing so I fail to compile in needed audio support; sound in vlc playing Xvid + mp3 sound. Expected Results: Expected all available USE flags to appear, so missing libraries could be added to configuration. 1) Emerge -pv vlc shows no "mad" option [ebuild R ] media-video/vlc-0.7.2 -(3dfx) +X -aalib +alsa -(altivec) +arts -bidi -debug -dvb +dvd +esd +faad -fbcon -ggi +gnome +gtk +imlib -lirc -matroska +mozilla +ncurses +nls +oggvorbis +oss +png +sdl -slp -speex -(svga) +truetype -v4l -wxwindows -xosd +xv 0 k Bug info from vlc shows "--disable-mad" main root debug: libvlc was configured with ./configure --prefix=/usr --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --enable-nls --disable-slp --disable-xosd --enable-ncurses --enable-alsa --enable-esd --enable-oss --disable-ggi --enable-sdl --disable-mad --enable-faad --disable-v4l --enable-dvd --enable-vcd --enable-dvdread --enable-dvdplay --enable-dvdnav --disable-dvb --disable-pvr --disable-joystick --disable-lirc --enable-arts --enable-gtk --enable-gnome --enable-ogg --enable-vorbis --disable-speex --disable-mkv --enable-freetype --disable-fribidi --disable-svgalib --disable-fb --disable-aa --disable-caca --enable-xvideo --enable-x11 --disable-glide --disable-mga --enable-flac --with-gnu-ld --enable-a52 --enable-dvbpsi --enable-libmpeg2 --disable-qt --disable-kde --disable-libcdio --disable-libcddb --disable-vcdx --enable-ffmpeg --with-ffmpeg-mp3lame --enable-livedotcom --with-livedotcom-tree=/usr/lib/live --disable-skins2 --enable-release --enable-mozilla MOZILLA_CONFIG=/usr/lib/mozilla/mozilla-config XPIDL=/usr/bin/xpidl However, $ USE="mad" emerge vlc _Does_ work(if you know it's there!): Debug info from vlc now shows: main root debug: libvlc was configured with ./configure --prefix=/usr --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --enable-nls --disable-slp --disable-xosd --enable-ncurses --enable-alsa --enable-esd --enable-oss --disable-ggi --enable-sdl --enable-mad --enable-faad --disable-v4l --enable-dvd --enable-vcd --enable-dvdread --enable-dvdplay --enable-dvdnav --disable-dvb --disable-pvr --disable-joystick --disable-lirc --enable-arts --enable-gtk --enable-gnome --enable-ogg --enable-vorbis --disable-speex --disable-mkv --enable-freetype --disable-fribidi --disable-svgalib --disable-fb --disable-aa --disable-caca --enable-xvideo --enable-x11 --disable-glide --disable-mga --enable-flac --with-gnu-ld --enable-a52 --enable-dvbpsi --enable-libmpeg2 --disable-qt --disable-kde --disable-libcdio --disable-libcddb --disable-vcdx --enable-ffmpeg --with-ffmpeg-mp3lame --enable-livedotcom --with-livedotcom-tree=/usr/lib/live --disable-skins2 --enable-release --enable-mozilla MOZILLA_CONFIG=/usr/lib/mozilla/mozilla-config XPIDL=/usr/bin/xpidl "emerge -vp vlc" showing all available options could have saved me some time, and perhaps someone else.

Created attachment 35114 [details] Patch adding the missing mad flag to IUSE parameters in vlc-0.7.2.ebuild.
Andreas, in the future please stick with uncompressed unified diff's (diff -u). That said, thank you for catching this, correcting it now.
Nevermind, someone beat me to it :)
