GStreamer deleted the libofa using plugin back in October 2021 with the following message (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/commit/e7c8b23b71911a01418f0576d72dff2402c0ad3c ): ofa: remove ofa audio fingerprinting plugin I think the MusicIP database for this has been defunct for years, so I can't imagine this plugin is particularly useful or still used by anyone. See https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Fingerprinting#PUID Looking at libofa itself, it links to pages that are now grabbed for something else (some betting thing and something that my adblocker even blocks me from checking), so I think libofa itself is useless as well. After bug 915189, xmms2 with USE=ofa appears to be the only consumer. I suggest to check into this stuff, drop it from xmms2 when confirmed and last-riting libofa as well.
