This mp3 decoder has superior support compared to the one coming from FFmpeg that is used as a fallback. If you experience any bad behaviour with mp3 files (skipping, distorted sound) make sure you enabled this USE flag. mmap Use mmap() function while reading file from local disks. Using mmap() will use more virtual memory space, but leaves to the Kernel the task of caching the file's data. mmap() access should be faster, but might misbehave if the device where the file resides in is removed during playback. nfs Allow accessing NFS shares via net-fs/libnfs. sftp Use net-libs/libssh2 to access SFTP servers. truetype Use media-libs/freetype for font rendering and media-libs/fontconfig for font discovery. Enabling this USE flag will allow OSD (such as subtitles) to use more advanced font and to more easily select which font to use. The support for TrueType fonts in xine-lib is still experimental, and might not be as good looking as the bitmap fonts used with this USE flag disabled. vdr Build the VDR plugin vidix Enable support for vidix video output. vis Adds support for SIMD optimizations for UltraSPARC processors. vpx Enable VP8 codec support via media-libs/libvpx. xvmc Enable support for XVideo Motion Compensation (accelerated mpeg playback). xvid pic disable optimized assembly code that is not PIC friendly zita-resampler tools Install zresample and zretune tools zmusic fluidsynth Enable support for MIDI via media-sound/fluidsynth mpg123 Enable support for MPEG audio playback via media-sound/mpg123 media-plugins alsa-plugins arcam_av Enables Arcam AV control plugin mix Enables upmix and vdownmix plugin usb_stream Enables usb_stream plugin audacious-plugins ampache Support controlling audacious via ampache bs2b Enable Bauer Bauer stereophonic-to-binaural headphone filter cue Support CUE sheets using the libcue library fluidsynth Support FluidSynth as MIDI synth backend gme Support various gaming console music formats http Support HTTP streams through neon scrobbler Build with scrobbler/LastFM submission support sid Build with SID (Commodore 64 Audio) support soxr Build with SoX Resampler support speedpitch Enable speed/pitch effects streamtuner Build the streamtuner plugin calf experimental Enable experimental features/plugins lv2 Add support for Ladspa V2 frei0r-plugins facedetect Enables building of facedetect plugin, which depends on media-libs/opencv scale0tilt Enables building of scale0tilt and vectorscope plugins, which depend on media-libs/gavl gkrellmpc threads Use separate thread to init connection (unsafe) grilo-plugins chromaprint Enable Chromaprint support daap Enable dmap support through net-libs/libdmapsharing flickr Enable Flickr support freebox Build support for viewing TV channels using Freebox gnome-online-accounts Enable net-libs/gnome-online-accounts support thetvdb Build support for thetvdb.com tracker Build support for content discovery using the app-misc/tracker indexer youtube Build support for YouTube content discovery using dev-libs/libgdata gst-plugins-gtk egl Enable EGL platform usage gles2 Enable gtkglsink OpenGL sink based on GLESv2 API opengl Enable gtkglsink OpenGL sink based on desktop OpenGL API gst-plugins-meta http Enable http streaming via net-libs/libsoup libvisual Enable visualization effects via media-libs/libvisual vpx Enables vp8 codec support using libvpx, required to play some HTML5 videos gst-plugins-vaapi drm Enable DRM renderer egl Enable EGL support gles2 Enable GLESv2 and GLESv3 support imlib2_loaders eet Enable Eet image loader xcf Enable XCF image loader ir_lv2 tools Build convert4chan tool mythplugins cdr Allows MythMusic to burn CD-Rs exif Allows MythGallery to read EXIF data from photos fftw Adds visual effects to MythMusic when playing back music hls HTTP Live Streaming support mytharchive Allows you to archive recorded content to CD or DVD mythgame Adds a frontend to various ROM emulators within MythTV mythnetvision Adds the ability to view netvision devices within MythTV mythweather Adds weather information within MythTV mythzmserver Build mythzmserver daemon needed by zoneminder on LAN mythzoneminder Adds support for zoneminder (requires active mythzmserver daemon on LAN). raw Allows MythGallery to view photos saved in RAW format vdr-burn dvdarchive DMH DVD -

messages using the pam logging macros. pambase debug Enable debug information logging on syslog(3) for all the modules supporting this in the system authentication and system login stacks. elogind Use pam_elogind module to register user sessions with elogind. homed Use pam_systemd_home module to manage home directories with the systemd-homed service minimal Disables the standard PAM modules that provide extra information to users on login; this includes pam_lastlog, pam_motd, pam_mail and other similar modules. This might not be a good idea on a multi-user system but could reduce slightly the overhead on single-user non-networked systems. mktemp Enable pam_mktemp module on system auth stack for session handling. This module creates a private temporary directory for the user, and sets TMP and TMPDIR accordingly. nullok Enable the nullok option with the pam_unix module. This allows people to login with blank passwords. pam_krb5 Enable pam_krb5 module on system auth stack, as an alternative to pam_unix. If Kerberos authentication succeed, only pam_unix will be ignore, and all the other modules will proceed as usual, including Gnome Keyring and other session modules. It requires sys-libs/pam as PAM implementation. pam_ssh Enable pam_ssh module on system auth stack for authentication and session handling. This module will accept as password the passphrase of a private SSH key (one of ~/.ssh/id_rsa, ~/.ssh/id_dsa or ~/.ssh/identity), and will spawn an ssh-agent instance to cache the open key. passwdqc Enable pam_passwdqc module on system auth stack for password quality validation. This module produces warnings, rejecting or providing example passwords when changing your system password. It is used by default by OpenWall GNU/*/Linux and by FreeBSD. pwhistory Enable pam_pwhistory module on system auth stack to save the last passwords for each user in order to force password change history and keep the user from alternating between the same password too frequently. pwquality Enable pam_pwquality module on system auth stack for passwd quality validation. It is used be dafault by Fedora GNU/*/Linux. securetty Enable pam_securetty module in the login stack. Not generally relevant anymore as the login stack only refers to local logins and local terminals imply secure access in the first place. sha512 Switch Linux-PAM's pam_unix module to use sha512 for passwords hashes rather than MD5. This option requires sys-libs/pam version 1.0.1 built against sys-libs/glibc version 2.7, if it's built against an earlier version, it will silently be ignored, and MD5 hashes will be used. All the passwords changed after this USE flag is enabled will be saved to the shadow file hashed using SHA512 function. The password previously saved will be left untouched.
