Perhaps because a lot of software nowadays attempts to do everything at once. Maybe it plays sound attachments inside of the client. > I get the following media-libs when i > execute emerge -a kmail: > > [snip] I recommend that you use the â-tâ portage flag in the future to see what pulls in what. I also recommend â-vâ. Now, having said that, I don't see anything directly in the ebuild that would pull in those libraries. Here's however what I got when seeing what it will do on a system with gstreamer USE and no KDE: # required by media-libs/phonon-gstreamer-4.7.1 # required by media-libs/phonon-4.7.1[gstreamer] # required by kde-base/kdelibs-4.12.0 # required by kde-base/korganizer-4.12.0 # required by kde-base/kmail-4.12.0 # required by kmail (argument) >=media-plugins/gst-plugins-meta-0.10-r8:0.10 vorbis So maybe KDE is pulling in something. -- Mateusz K.
