I have it working at the moment, supporting:

* portage ebuilds for the otherwise-embedded Linux binaries (so they'll
be optimised for your architecture), controlled through lame wavpack
musepack alac ogg and flac USE flags
* easy use of your own mysql installation, or use of the embedded mysql
(it will configure your external mysql for you so it should be as easy
as the embedded mysql, but tailored to your architecture). Controlled
through the 'mysql' USE flag
* includes an init.d script and user-configuration through a conf.d script
* supports logs and installs log rotation configuration
* supports bonjour and avahi for offering the service, controlled
through USE flags
* should not require you to mess around with any perl module building -
it should all be done automatically during installation

I've submitted this to the current ebuild's official Gentoo maintainer
(Joe Peterson) and he's going to have a look when he's back from
holiday. I'm hoping this will get into the official Portage tree rather
than need any separate overlays to be managed by the users.

I'll post back when there's some progress to report. I could let you
have it to test it out if you're willing to work with a local portage
overlay and don't mind some system breakage (I've been testing this on a
relatively clean new Gentoo installation in a VM, not on a system that's
been running for a while, although I can't think of anything major that
could go wrong with it) - if you want to do that then PM me.
