Running "dep -r category/package" displays packages for which this package is a dependency. Bad that it's development has stoped, doesn't work with portage-2.1_preX. To show how "--tree" works, see below (run on my system some minutes ago): ... #emerge -DNu world -ptv
These are the packages that I would merge, in reverse order: Calculating world dependencies ...done!

See the package above "speex" with label [nomerge] - this means speex *is* a dependency of xine. Dependencies are also shown by indents, see the exempt. Here you can't see the dependencies for "media-sound/audacity" (as in your case). Will look in www.gentooexperimental.org for another script (remeber there were some). PS: currently filing a Bug on speex as it doesn't compile ;-) HTH.Rumen
