In short: at least gsound dependency has not been mentioned in the
pitivi ebuild.
The full story has been explained below.
I have recently installed pitivi and tried to run it.
It failed with the following error message:
# pitivi
Missing soft dependency:
- GSound not found on the system
-> enables sound notifications when rendering is complete
Missing soft dependency:
- cvtracker GStreamer element not found on the system
-> enables object tracking
Missing soft dependency:

-> enables beat detection functionality

After installing gsound and gstreamer, the error message have been
reduced to the following:
Missing soft dependency:
- cvtracker GStreamer element not found on the system
-> enables object tracking
Missing soft dependency:
- librosa not found on the system
-> enables beat detection functionality

So, at least dependency of the pitivi on gsound has not been mentioned
in the pitivi ebuild which is definitely a bug.
Unfortunately, I do not know how to install librosa and get rid of the
other error messages.
I am currently use default/linux/amd64/23.0/desktop (stable) profile with dwm
without any desktop environment and think that this bug has appeared because
the pitivi ebuild has been tested only for
default/linux/amd64/23.0/desktop/gnome profile.
