Thanks for the reply. Just downloaded the ffmpeg source distribution and FWICT, the ffmpeg source distribution includes the necessary code: ./libavcodec/vdpau.c ./libavcodec/vdpau_internal.h ./libavcodec/vdpau.h Unless there are additional snippets, it appears that ffmpeg (for one....) doesn't need vdpau.

you can use the variable EXTRA_ECONF to pass parameters to ./configure and manually add vdpau, but I don't know if there's an option to modify that on a package basis (like /etc/portage/package.use ) .. instead of a global var ... without touching ebuilds ...
Didn't work; FWICT, EXTRA_ECONF provides limited function <http://bugs.gentoo.org/38618> Is there a file anywhere that I can edit, which mandates that to use the vdpau "use" flag, I have to have the vdpau package installed? TIA
