That used to be the case but the 0.9.9 ebuild contain this comment # the version 0.9.9 supports the use of system libraries. and DEPENDS on the libraries that used to be bundled. And it is not masked, although earlier versions were, it is just ~arch keyworded. Earlier versions could be problematic, especially with ffmpeg changing their API every month with a vowel in it, but now the bundled libraries are gone, and the clashes along with them. -- Neil Bothwick Windows95 - crash compatible on Windows 3.x
