1. emerge media-sound/clementine 2. try to play a mp3 file 3. Message "GStreamer is missing a plugin" media-soundes/clementine should depend on media-plugins/gst-plugins-mad to allow mp3 playback. this could be also realized via useflag "mp3".
does this apply for all versions in the tree?
The list of supported formats is controlled by media-plugins/gst-plugins-meta, I see no sense in doubling a USE for each format. At most it may be noted in a elog message to avoid such confusion.
The elog message is added I believe it's enough to consider its fixed. If there are any other reasons to have an mp3 support dep explicitly specified, feel free to reopen the bug and I'm ready for a discussion...
(In reply to Fat-Zer from comment #3) > The elog message is added I believe it's enough to consider its fixed. Yes, this is a pretty solution. Thanks!
