The win32codecs USE flag pulls in the win32codecs package. The real USE flag pulls in realplayer. Neither of those two independent USE flags are enabled by default on any profile. Both of the mplayer and the win32codecs packages have a real USE flag. And mplayer doesn't depend on ffmpeg at all... -- Bo Andresen
