Created attachment 581604 [details, diff] adds Please re-enable SDLv1 module. Tested locally, builds and runs with no apparent side effects. Use flag name is of no significance, just please don't kill it. Thank you!
What for?
Please note your change would re-introduce bug 656904 and break reverse-dependencies that depend on mlt[sdl] right now.

That's not enough to justify the change, and I just showed you it does break mlt.

You did? For the third time, disregard use flags, forget the attached diff, let's forget I ever proposed anything related to use flags.

Not reintroducing a crash 'for the heck of it' would appear to be the policy of every maintainer in every distribution, no need to sour about it. Did you check the link I provided?

Oh and there's a way to let the user choose which sdl version he wants via REQUIRED_USE, i believe
So, 2.5 months later there is still nothing in tree demanding sdl1 from mlt. For flowblade, you can track this issue for their porting to sdl2: https://github.com/jliljebl/flowblade/issues/603 Any overlay that might provide this package shall fork our mlt ebuild to meet its demand. For personal use, Gentoo gives you all the tools you need to roll your own.
