The most common definition of multimedia is audio and video. Images is generally a different set. Also the description specifies audio and video specifically. It might be useful to modify the ebuild(s) to specify that option and see what happens. But I think that needs to be added to quite a few ebuilds and the related dependencies need to be modified as well. -- Joost
