2. This is a very bad suggestion, as portage does not record the
settings used. With the next upgrade of mplayer, especially if it's a
deep world update, mplayer will be remerged with standard USE flags,
modified by make.conf and package.use. This will potentially pull in
unwanted ipv6 stuff for example.
'USE=<flags> emerge <options> <packages>' has been deprecated for a very
long time now for these reasons.
