It seems we currently have several IUSE for the same purpose, with **sound** probably having oldest mentions[1]. This came up while working on virtual/sound-theme and splitting up media-libs/libcanberra[2], and could be dealt with in the same PR.
- Should we consolidate these into a single IUSE?
- Which one?
- Any other IUSE with the same purpose not listed here?
List of current IUSE consumers below:
sound **global** use flag: - Enable sound support
sound *local* use flags:
media-libs/libcanberra: Install x11-themes/sound-theme-freedesktop to
get sounds on Gnome and Xfce.
... others, with a different meaning:
games-board/pysolfc: Enable sound support using
dev-python/pygame
games-roguelike/angband: Enable and install sounds
games-rpg/drascula: Install optional audio files
games-strategy/freeciv: Add support for sound provided by
media-libs/sdl-mixer

risk)

risk)
