Audacious 4.3-beta1 has been released [1]. Please also restore ability to build the GTK UI, now that Audacious supports GTK3 once again, since the Qt one in classic mode is still missing important features like "jump to track" [2].

Supporting both toolkits in the same ebuild would be a complete and utter mess. You would be asking for an entirely different package e.g. called "audacious-gtk3".
> Supporting both toolkits in the same ebuild would be a complete and utter mess. AFAIK both Qt and GTK can be enabled in a single Audacious meson build so you don't have to run the build twice for that. There are multiple packages that allow building multiple toolkits at the same time, quick search uncovers at least: app-crypt/pinentry media-gfx/zbar sci-visualization/gnuplot
Let's keep this about audacious please. So far, different toolkits were released in different tarballs, and Gentoo has been using autotools buildsystem up until and including the current stable release. I don't know if that changed with meson, as I do not maintain it anymore. Qt5 and GTK3 in audacious - so far - also have had cascading implications on IUSE validity, causing complicated and frustrating REQUIRED_USE constructs.

Since these flags are independent now (and both can be off to build a headless player) a REQUIRED_USE construct shouldn't be necessary at all. Personally, I would be satisfied with having just "gtk" or "gtk3" USE flag to optionally build the GTK UI, with the Qt one being enabled unconditionally (as it is now).

Choosing the frontend is done with a CLI flag, they are both part of the same tarball, and adding gtk3 to the ebuild is a straightforward ~25 line patch.

Since the above version bump seems to *not* restore ability to build the GTK UI (despite requests to do so in this bug) I have create bug #903970 about that.
