okay, there is a musepack useflag, which, unfortunately, doesn't seem
to affect mplayer:
[04:42 PM]wwong ~ $ grep musepack /usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc
app-cdr/k3b:musepack - Enable support for musepack files
media-sound/moc:musepack - Support for musepack (mpc) files
media-sound/mpd-svn:musepack - Enable support for musepack files
media-sound/musepack-tools:16bit - Higher quality sound output using dithering
and noise-shaping
And a cursory glance at the mplayer ebuild shows that there's no
dependence on musepack of any sort (not even optional)
Now, there are two things you can do:
1) If you really want mplayer to support musepack, do some web
searches, make sure the codec really is supported, and then you go
and file a bug at b.g.o. for the feature request. In the mean time,
you can probably edit the ebuild yourself to include support for
musepack.
2) If you don't want to edit the ebuild (or can't be bothered to
learn), a stop-gap solution is to emerge media-sound/moc with the
musepack flag turned on. That should at least allow you to play the
files for the time being.
HTH,
