Nope. What you have to do is to set up the correct use flags for
xine-lib
(dvd).
I think the css USE flag may also be required, at least by some
packages.
For each package it might be different (which can be confusing) but
for
xine-lib, it's the "dvd" use flag which controls this, and trigger the
dependency of xine-libs upon libdvdcss. You just need to look into the
ebuild to see it:
$ grep dvd /var/portage/media-libs/xine-lib/xine-lib-1.1.16.3-
r1.ebuild
IUSE="-aalib -libcaca -arts esd win32codecs nls +dvd +X directfb
+vorbis
+alsa
dvd? ( >=media-libs/libdvdcss-1.2.7 )
I didn't mean in any way to debate your statement about xine-lib -
just to add that css may be required for some _other_ packages.
It transpires that the only packages I seem to have on my systems
using the css USE flag are rippers (undvd & k3b), so I apologise for
my mistake.
I actually find this a little surprising. I might have thought that
the devs might have separated the decryption and playback components:
one could imagine it being legal to play back a region 0 DVD in some
territories, but not to install or operate encryption "circumvention"
software.
