When flac 1.1.2 r1 is installed, xine won't start. It exits with "There is no demuxer plugin available to handle 'file:/usr/share/xine/skins/xine-ui_logo.mpv'." You can close the application in about 2 seconds, otherwise xine will just hang. You can xkill it, but a xine process still remains then. (kill -9 that one). relevant debug output: xine: found input plugin : file input plugin ebml: invalid EBML ID size (0x0) at position 1 ebml: invalid master element load_plugins: cannot (stage 2) open plugin lib /usr/lib/xine/plugins/1.0.1/xineplug_flac.so: libFLAC.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory xine: couldn't find demux for >file:/usr/share/xine/skins/xine-ui_logo.mpv< ---------------------- (ERROR) ---------------------- got XINE_ERROR_NO_DEMUX_PLUGIN. ------------------ (END OF ERROR) ------------------- ---------------------- (ERROR) ---------------------- - xine engine error - There is no demuxer plugin available to handle 'file:/usr/share/xine/skins/xine-ui_logo.mpv'.

I'm not sure if it's relevant, but I'm running xine-ui-0.99.3-r1.

Just do a revdep-rebuild or re-emerge xine-lib. Flac soversion changed and the old lib is there no more.
It's even reported by the ebuild: * If you've upgraded from a previous version of flac, you may need to re-emerge * packages that linked against flac by running: * revdep-rebuild Sorry for reporting such a stupid (l)user mistake as a bug, and thank you for the fast response.
