I used this stream for reference: https://st01.sslstream.dlf.de/dlf/01/high/opus/stream.opus

turns out media-libs/opus is insufficent for *decoding* streams at least, it might be sufficent to *encode* though, but for *decoding* the ebuild should pull in media-libs/opusfile. 

I'm a bit surprised since there is no need to recompile vlc, so this might be a possible automagic behavior?

turns out this was a poorly configured stream, now it's working without pulling in opusfile.
