its a possible runtime dep, and very necessary if you wish to use
sound-juicer to actually encode sound into flac, which would be the
forseeable idea here.

i think our RDEPEND is the best fitting clause right now, but that might
just be another limitation we hit in portage as-is :)


Same goes for rhythmbox i think.  Having a user look around for the
rather implausble name "gst-plugins-flac" to make it play the sound is
sorta strange.

(No, I don't expect anyone to know that gst-plugins-flac is the right
thing to install to get rhythmbox to play flac,  and sound-juicer to
encode to flac ..)
