I used * because ~* didn't work! ;-) I'm a Gentoo novice, and can't
explain why it didn't work yet...

I got a very similar response when I tried to emerge mplayer, and
couldn't figure out how to hack the USE flags to stop most of X being
built.

In the end, I downloaded the 'MPlayer v1.01-rc1 snapshot source [link]'
(http://www3.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/MPlayer-1.0rc1.tar.bz2) and
built that. It finished building overnight, and this morning I was able
to play a realaudio stream from the command line. My next job is to
install AlienBBC and wire everything up.

I did also download and install the binary codec packages for PPC from
the 'MPlayer download page [link]'
(http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html) but I'm not sure whether
that was necessary...

My Squeezebox should arrive today!
